88 Stitches of Fun!

Two more tiny onesies!
I counted 88 stitches in this tiny motif! They really are a quick, fun project, because they turn out sooooo cute!

I think that I solved the drama of the bad floss. I had used some floss that was in a wall hanging kit, which would not have to be color fast! I have learned my lesson and will only use floss from "known" sources that are made for things that may be washed regularly.

See the little bird peeking out of the house? I should have used a little darker color, but I just think of it as a "hidden picture"!

I reduced both of these motifs to 60% of the original, since I wanted to put them on these tiny shirts. They are about the size of a nickel.

These are the last ones for awhile, since we are traveling. I gave away all the dishcloths that I have knitted since the holidays while I was at Sister's house, so I have to knit some more, just in case. One cannot be without a stack of dishcloths at the ready!

Ya know...I think there are those people that can be without a stack of dishclothes at the ready. We are not them, however...

I love those little tiny stitcheries!!! Sooooo cute. And yes, everyone needs handmade dishcloths - I crochet mine! Can't knit, it's genetic.

Thank goodness it all came out in the wash (so to speak!). They are just adorable. I'm glad you told me how tiny they truly are. Wow, the size of a nickel!

I have started my anthropomorphic dish towels. I think they are funny (dancing cutlery, sugar and creamers with legs, etc.) I am just loving this craft!

Happy trails until you reach home again!

These are so cute on your onesies, I am feeling inspired to make an embroidered doll quilt. Why, you may ask, does everything have to be made into a quilt? I can't explain it.

Thanks for all your lovely comments! Martha, if I could quilt like you can, everything I do would be made into a quilt, too! Well, except for the dishcloths...
