Okay, okay. So, the group of women I “knit with” are all on a scrapbooking forum. Well, we’re all crafty, aren’t we? We have a monthly Stitch & Bitch thread running over there and the work that these women do is simply amazing.
In April we did our first sock knit-along. I did my first pair of socks for that and have knit 4 pairs since then!
Then my friend Anna decided to host an NSBR dishcloth swap, because scrapbookers love to participate in swaps. The unique thing about this swap, however, is that unlike the typical scrapbook swap, only ONE PERSON ended up dropping out. Approximately 15 people participated – the work was amazing.
Here are the dishcloths that I received:
This round one is from Jane - a very accomplished knitter – I love the knitting in the round.
The Flying Geese are by LilyBlue – the pattern doesn’t quite show up in my picture, but the trianges in purl stitch are wonderful. I also love the colors.
This is by Burning Feather – a long time NSBR’r – who appropriately chose a fan and feather pattern in my favorite colors.
And this is by Kim, who did exquisite work, all in pristine white. Simply stunning. I’m not sure if I can bring myself to actually do dishes with this cloth. 
Finally, this is one that I did for the swap – this is before I sewed in the tails and blocked it, however. It is the traveling vine pattern from Smariek.
