Zyle Knits

As I mentioned in a previous post, I’ve become rather addicted to knitted dishcloths. If you’d said this to me two years ago, I’d have looked at you as if your head had fallen off. Much the way most people look at me when I mention it, I suppose. But if you’ve ever used one, you understand! They’re so sturdy, and the texture is a fantastic scrubber without being abhrasive (depending on your pattern of course.) Today, after my first day back at work following a lovely week of lounging at home, the perfect surprise was waiting for me on my door mat. Ok, it wasn’t that big a surprise considering I just ordered it on Friday, but I’d temporarily forgotten about it, so it was technically a surprise!

4 balls of delicious Peaches & Creme!! It’s just the best cotton for dishcloths. Look at it, the colours are amaaaazing. I could just eat it up! So, now I have plenty of cloths to knit during my lunch-breaks. Double whammy! Lunchtime was becoming problematic – I can’t cope with just sitting chatting after finishing my sandwich any more, my hands need to be busy! I’ve become good enough at socks that I can try adventurous patterns, but not so good that I can hold a conversation whilst knitting them, and the blanket has way too much faffing with different colours to be considered a portable project, so I’m thoroughly delighted to have something to rattle on with mindlessly. Should keep me going for a few weeks!
