One of Those Days

It is a rainy dreary day, I am on a diet, and I wanted to bake soooooooo bad....perfect day for it. Well I got a package, and as I was opening it, A wonderful smell of bananas wafted out, and I immediately got my "Rainy day Baking" urge satisfied!

Enjoy!!! And happy Loomin'

Why a dishcloth rake??

The weather is so nice here in Michigan today, I've been outside on the porch just a loomin away............Think I may need a nap now, the wind in the trees always gets to me after a while. LOL Love that sound!!!!!

I have heard so many comments on why do I just do dishcloths with the rake. Well I don't LOL I make the 14" squares for afghans, I make the placemats, also, if I really like the pattern, it becomes a tablerunner, or long panel for an afghan. I also make scarves, and slippers on it. Pretty much anything I want to use only 1 strand of worsted weight on, I make it on the "Dishcloth rake"

A great website

Many of the dishcloths I have been doing, come from Knitting Knonsense website........all designed by Rhonda K. White.

How to convert from 2 needle knit to loom knit

First you need to change all the purls to knit, and all the knits to purls.
Then, if there is no knit across rows between rows, then you need to read every other row right to left:

1st row left to right, next row right to left.

kpkpkp-----> 1st row
pkpkpk <--------2nd row etc.
If there is a row knit across between rows, the just read it as is.

If you are reading from a chart, then read 1st row right to left, then second row left to right.

kpkpkpkp-------->2nd row etc.
pkpkpkpk<------- 1st row
