The woolly cable scarf is done. And wonderful. It was fun and I love it. I love the colors, loved the stitches, it knit fast and I'm happy with the finished project. But I do remember knitting on it on a couple of warm days towards the end and it was starting to feel a little sticky. So... onto something a little drier, a little sunnier.
These are the first 2 of what I'm sure will be many Buttonband Dishcloths from the Mason Dixon knitting book. The yarn is the great stuff I ordered from Elmore Pisgah a few weeks ago, and what can I say? The colors are like candy, they just leap right off the needles. The pattern was fast and easy and enjoyable. And something interesting to note-the pattern is exactly the same as the one on the paper band on the Peaches and Creme yarn. While I love the Mason Dixon book and think there's something in it for everyone, it's good to know too-if you don't want to commit to the whole book, just pick up a ball of this yarn and the pattern is right there.

Psst....that's why it's called the ball band dishcloth ;).
LOVE the colors. I don't know what it is about that orange/yellow/white cotton that makes me want to buy 10 skeins at once, but I love it. Really pretty scarf too.
The scarf looks great! I have done that one and several variations and its always a fun knit!!
Love the dishcloth! Its fun to see spring knitting!!
Great colours for your dishcloth. Love the scarf too! It looks so soft and warm.
I knew that the Ballband Dishcloth was an old one, but the Mason Dixon book is a really good read which is why I bought it.
OH HAH! I was scrolling through my feed reader and said "What is she doing with my dishrag?"
Oh, I love that scarf and pattern! I just printed it off to take with me this summer.

Very nice. I love the color and pattern in both the scarf and the dishclothes.
A few months ago i checked out the Mason Dixon book, and yeah it is a neat book.
