I didn't too much of anything yesterday while the house was quiet; Jared and family went to spend the night with youngest brother. Instead, I did a lot of couch time resting my body--I am not used to so much activity! I reached for some easy knitting and made the dishcloth on the right, the coral one. And then I had a thought to slip the first stitch with a purl-wise slip, then bring the yarn to the back between the first and second stitch and it made the edge look very differently-fun to see the 'what if' work out!
Yes, I like the look of the smooth edge!
We've been getting rain every day-usually in the afternoon but sometimes even earlier; summer is our wet season. The Rain lilies have exploded into bloom everywhere--they are an unruly bunch of green leaves the rest of the year!
I have red, red with white and white with red ones. They have a sweet aroma, too, and you know how unusual that is to have a scented bloom!
Pretty flowers and nice dishcloths!!
ReplyDeleteI’ll have to try that technique for the dishcloth edge. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI like that dishcloth edge too. Your flowers are so pretty. We had a doozy of a thunderstorm last night. It seemed to last for hours. Maybe it was just one storm afer another and it's supposed to rain today too. Glad you got some much-needed rest yesterday.

Pretty lilies!
ReplyDeleteThey are calling for a rainy weekend here (but still stupidly humid of course). I'm not sure what that means for me and outside work at the new house.
