In other FO news, I have something very cute done but it is a secret and I can't show it off just yet.
And, one more thing that's a wip, and will be for quite some time I think. An entrelac scarf! I did take that short little entrelac class a few weeks ago. It was o.k., but the class was too large so a few of us got forgotten a few times and I made mistakes. I was a bit unhappy after the class, then a few friends said how easy Danica is. Well, I thought either I'm kinda dumb about these things or maybe, just maybe (there'll be fruit pie!) this is a screwed up pattern. So I frogged the little bit I had and started over. Bingo, I haven't had any problems since I switched to Danica!
There is a long way to go to turn this into a scarf especially since I am working on it a bit here and there in between other projects. But I like it. The edges are straight but the needle pulls it a bit and it will need a smidge of blocking (not too much, or it depuffs the squares too much). The yarn is the Cherry Tree Hill North Country Cotton that I got in the No Sheep for You swap a while back.

I was just wondering if i should block my danica when it's done - just a little you say? I'll ask you more about this when I'm there, I think. :)
The dishcloth looks great! Must start Danica soon...
Kate, what they suggested at the class was to lightly block entrelac - block it for the shape/square up the edges but don't block it hard enough to flatten it out!
Your Danica is coming along quite nicely! One of the women in my knitting group made this scarf and didn't end up blocking it because the liked how the different block heights worked together.
