Good Morning Penny, Thanks for letting me know that! I didn’t realize that those two ads popped up and blocked the video. I’ve removed them, so you should be good to go now.

Sorry for the frustration, but thanks for the heads up!

Hi Lynn,
Loved the pattern. But trying to watch the tutorial video for the pivot edge was a bit hard to follow because of the two popup windows that appears. I already have popups blocked, so I don’t know what’s going on.

In reply to Rebecca. Hi Rebecca, I used the Susan Bates, US 6 on this pattern. Very happy with those needles, but it seems that they are not being sold anymore. 😒

In reply to Susan Shaw.

Hi Susan,

First off, thanks so much for your lovely note. It’s comments like yours that get me moving each and every day. It mean so much to me that you took the time to share your thoughts and a peek into your life with me.

I am so glad that my patterns are finding a good home with you! Like you, I love to knit. Though truth be told, I haven’t had too much time for it lately. I plan to take 2 weeks off from the blog over Christmas and would love nothing more than to sit down and get some knitting done. I have started a blanket and really would love to make some progress on

Wishing you a lovely Monday.

Hugs, Lynn

Lynn, I had saved some of your dishcloth/washcloth patterns previously. My computer died and, you would think that a software engineer would back up her data at home. Of course, I wasn’t going to lose MY data. So, while watching TV, I often surf the net and as I find things which still interest me, I am again collecting patterns of interest. I like to knit dishcloths, chemo caps, and preemie caps. My daughter is very picky and she does ask me from time to time if I have some knit dishcloths. They make great presents for her. I do make some “fun” ones for her two because she has two sons, 5 and 10. So, I either send some or take them when I go to Albuquerque. I am a breast cancer survivor and had hair to my waist when I diagnosed. I cut it before I ever started treatment and donated so children could have a wig. I have donated 3 times since and thought I was done and now I’m trying to grow it out at least one more time. The places will take gray hair and sell it to raise $ to help with the costs. My daughter’s sons were each preemies. So, that is another cause near and dear to me. I think to quilt and haven’t even pieced since my second husband died 3 years ago. My son and his 3 year old daughter live with me, so dishcloths are also a perfect outlet for my little bit of creativity since I can “drop” a project fairly quickly to tend to her. Thanks for sharing your adorable patterns with the knitting world. I’m going to be knitting for some friends for Christmas in the next couple of weeks. I usually have started long before this. This year has just been different – in a great way. I really like the picot edging on the feminine dishcloths. I may make my granddaughter some cloths for her bath. She is a little diva. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Susan

Aw Thelma, I am a proud Geek! And your note is too sweet and so very encouraging. Thank-you! I am working on making my patterns easier to print off, so check back in a week or two!
Until then, Happy Knitting.

Thank goodness for Geeks!! Where would we be without you and Bill Gates? Your designs are just breathless. I’m NOT a fan of dish or washcloths; but you can bet your last penny that I WILL be making these. You’ve inspired us again. Thank you.

Aw Patti…you just made my day! Thanks so much for signing up and even more for taking some of your precious time to drop that kind comment. Like you, I can’t wait to use this stitch into a blanket. I’ve bought the yarn and needles to make a large blanket for this fall and will post it once I finish it…but first I need to start it!?
Thanks again for swinging by today and wishing you a fantastic, summery week.
Hugs, Lynn

Thank you so much for the new stitch!! I am always looking for new ones to try. I make a washcloth first and if I like it then I make a blanket. I really appreciate the videos. Sometimes I just need to see it. This was the first email I received from you, as I am new, and already I am thrilled I signed up. Thanks again!!
