What's Full of Double Crochets and Getting Mailed to South Dakota?

This stuff!  I'm happy to say that Sprout the Squid seems to approve of my star-shaped dishcloth.  You always want to please your squid.

I haven't got time for a quality post (or quality photos, ugh) today, but I did want to get these things up to share, and I'm looking forward to catching up with all of your Friday posts tonight or tomorrow. :D

I used this pattern, and loved how quickly and enjoyably it worked up.

I also made a square cloth, using a block from this book.  I love the look of mitred squares, but hadn't tried one yet.  The book has multiple styles/methods of them, so there may be more on the way...

This was one of those instances where the yarns matched a little too well, I think.  This is three colours (yellow, a variegated one, and red) of Bernat Handicrafter Cotton (which somehow seems softer/easier to work with to me than Sugar and Cream, but that may be a figment of my imagination...), and they're so well-matched that the striping effect of the square got a little lost.  Next time, more contrast in my colours.

I also whipped up one of the ever-popular Olivia's Butterfly hats, a pattern I've been wanting to make since I saw it on an FO Friday a million years ago.  This owl was nice enough to model it for me (it's way too small for my giant skull). 

Definitely more hats-and-cloths on the way before I box it all up to send to the Pine Ridge Reservation later this month. :)

Check out other people's Friday goodies over at FO Friday and Fibers on Friday.
