Mid-February KAL

This one is fun. It’s like a ballband, but with round windows, instead of rectangular bricks. For the pattern, tan is color A and the Fiesta ombre is color B. A is the color in the foreground and Color B is the background. I’m having fun knitting it!

Two nights ago, the weathermen had us with a winter storm watch, for 5-8 inches of snow. Then yesterday, it was only a winter storm advisory, for 3-5 inches of snow. Overnight, we only had about 1/4-inch of snow. It barely covered the driveway and Gary’s car, which has to stay outside, was barely covered with anything. I’m listening to the radio at 7:00am, and WTMJ has a reporter in downtown Sheboygan, reporting about who it’s drizzling a little and the visibility is low. Uhhh, no. I had just been out with the dog and didn’t notice any drizzling or decreased visibility. I can’t believe they sent a reporter up here, all the way from Milwaukee for a measly 1/4-inch of snow! Must be a slow news day. The weathermen get to excited about their models, when maybe they should just look out the window.

About Dawn

Raising kids, training the dog, waiting for lilies and dahlias to bloom in the summer, fills my days and nights, with activity!

  2. Aunt Kathy says:

    I have wanted to make this pattern too, I tried once but thought it looked wrong and frogged it. I might have to try again now that you reminded me about it

  3. Linda says:

    I love this! After knitting all those traditional ballbands i thinks it’s time to try something new and this pattern is perfect. i like your colors!

  4. Sus says:

    I love this dishcloth! And the colors you’re using really make it pop! I bet it’s nice and scrubby when it’s done, too.

  5. That’s a nice looking pattern. Have fun finishing it.
