do this to enter a contest. I love entering contests (esp. when sock yarn is involved). I was surfing the net this afternoon at work (business is very slow and Monica has a migraine so we couldn't IM) and came across a new blog (to me) where Carrie is having a contest. You have to start (she didn't say you had to finish it, but I probably will anyway) a springy looking dishcloth. After I fed my family, I pulled out my bin of cotton yarns and found the most springy looking ball I had. This is what I've done so far. I'm using a pattern that is in the 2006 Knitting Pattern A Day Calender. It's starting to pool now with the increase of stitches and I'm almost to the required 43 stitches you have to reach before starting the decreases. That's all I have for now...more later.

No one is more surprised than me... but I finished something that wasn't a sock (see, I can knit other things). I wove in the ends as Grey's was ending. I wonder if I get extra credit for finishing it? Just kidding! I love when triangles become squares!
Back to the socks, I still need to finish one for Socktopia before Tuesday!

Can't wait to see the finished product...the colours are very pretty.
I need to make some new cloths so this comes at a great time. And yours is very colorful.
Such nice bright colors. Definitely springy. Good luck on the contest.
Karen, your sock looks great! Thanks for playing in the contest! And you're quite a sock knitter, I see =) Wow! I'm glad you found my site, and I yours.
Karen, I just woke up. Your DISHCLOTH looks great! Yeesh. I'm going to get some coffee now.... =/
That's one reason I love knitting dishcloths, so quick to knit.
Ohhhh I have that calendar. I must go find the pattern. I hope you win!
Great colours very springy. Hope you win.
No sneak peek. OK I will wait
