So I’ve got this friend, let’s call her “Tessima” to protect her anonymity, who was getting on my case about using too much chunky and bulky and other “fat” synonym yarns. I wanted to make “Tessima” something, but the thing I had wanted to make her was a scarf out of Brown Sheep Burly Spun in Strawberry<\/a>. See, there’s that word “burly” so I didn’t think it was going to fly. Her loss, because man, it was lookin’ cute. So, I thought, well, I’ve got the pattern for the reverse bloom flower washcloth,<\/a> and this “Tessima” tends to like bath products. Gee, I hope that didn’t out her. I happen to have two skeins of soft, fuzzy Crystal Palace cotton chenille<\/a> in red and blue, so that seemed ideal. It’s soft and cushy and absorbent.<\/p>\n

So I worked up one petal, then looked at it and thought, “hmm. This gives me an idea.” So I made up this heart washcloth.<\/a> (That’s a bar of Ivory next to it for scale.)<\/p>\n

There’s room for improvement in the pattern. It looks kinda neat and knits up quick, but I think it’d look better smaller and rounder, and without so much flaring out on the inside of the bifurcation of the heart. I also don’t want the lobes flapping around and smacking someone in the face. If I can get this perfected, this might be something I could sell fairly cheaply.<\/p>\n

Whatcha think? Suggestions, comments?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
