I love all of your knitting projects, too. Way to go Ruthie, especially with your chemo caps project. Blogging seems to be more of an evening/night-time or winterish activity anyway.Mary Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08077077785157768787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854762792778878452.post-8993020727316643772009-07-09T05:51:28.048-05:002009-07-09T05:51:28.048-05:00Thanks Jayne.

It's a good thing I'm only working part-time and have more time for the things I really enjoy doing!<br /><br />Hi Carolyn,<br />Your son will love those dishcloths and I really like working these patterns. I think you will enjoy them too.<br /><br />Hi Mama Pea,<br />See now I feel the same way about you when I'm reading your posts about all the stuff you get done in a day!<br />I heard from Kristen (my LYS owner) that two other women are in the 30-day challenge too. I'll check with her and see if we can't get a group picture of all the hats we've made at the end of 30 days. I think it would be really cool.<br /><br />Thanks Heather. We've had some cool and overcast weather for the past couple weeks, so the squash action has really slowed down, but once it warms up again, I'm sure I'll have zukes comin' out my ears!<br />Hopefully the thoughts of those huge zukes hiding in your garden won't spoil your vacation! ;-)<br /><br />Thanks Windyridge. I really liked that frog pattern too. I've never seen a tree frog for real, but it would be cool to have them stuck right to the window, wouldn't it?<br /><br />Thanks Mom. The cloths have a nice texture, so they would probably work great for a hot pad or holding onto a hot pan lid.<br /><br />Thanks Heidi. I have a friend at work who used to take my big zukes. He used them to feed the plecostamus in his aquarium--they love zucchini!<br /><br />Hi Mary,<br />I hope you find that pattern book--there are lots of designs in there and the patterns are easy to follow (no charts, just written instructions).<br />The half-mitts are great for photographers and birders--anyone who needs their fingers free. I use a standard mitten pattern--just stop halfway to the end.RuthieJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663411478574192825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854762792778878452.post-25145918720490629812009-07-08T21:06:27.802-05:002009-07-08T21:06:27.802-05:00Dishcloths are so pretty!

Want to try to knit some for my photographer daughter. <br /><br />30 chemo caps... yowsah! <br /><br />Have never seen golden zucchini, but I know what you mean about the green ones. Did you see them buckled in by a seatbelt on Down to Earth blog?

I've already picked several of those practically baseball bat-sized zukes from our plants. I really don't want them to get that big, but I'm afraid that's what will be happening when we go on vacation. Love those nature dishcloths! I can see I'm going to have to check out your Etsy store soon to see if you have some of those up for sale! I use them as potholders, though, or just as something to sit a hot pot or plate on. Good luck with all your knitting. I'm sure you will have fun with it.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15791185232391134319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854762792778878452.post-64074451831309250472009-07-08T09:34:54.337-05:002009-07-08T09:34:54.337-05:00Dear Wonder Woman - I got exhausted just reading y...Dear Wonder Woman - I got exhausted just reading your post.

I still have hopes of getting some birding adventures in yet this summer--checking off the Henslow's sparrow is tops on my list!<br /><br />Thanks Gaelyn. The charted part of the shawl is good, but the written parts leave a lot to the imagination. <br /><br />I like finding new colors of variegated yarn--I have another skein that's brown & turquoise that I can't wait to knit into something too (maybe a chemo cap!)<br /><br />Thanks Beth, good to hear from you. I'm glad you're having a good summer. I like sharing my knitting projects and since I have more hats than I can ever wear, I jumped at the chance to try some different hat patterns and share them with others who have a need for them.<br /><br />Thanks Lisa for the great idea about a lap robe! These patterns would definitely work great for that. Hmmmmm, now you've got me thinking.....maybe I need to get one made up for a raffle/fundraiser for the Master Naturalists groupRuthieJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663411478574192825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854762792778878452.post-16519334685711723612009-07-08T05:20:05.727-05:002009-07-08T05:20:05.727-05:00I just love those garden dish clothes.

The chemo caps is a great project, thanks for doing it and thanks for sharing your knitting projects, too. I'm not much of a knitter but think I could manage some of the cup warmers--what a great idea to keep fingers from burning on a paper cup.
