Looking back through the photos on my phone, it seems like this happened a while ago. Yet, May seemed to have flown by.

I mean we had a big graduation, there was Mother's Day, plants were planted, and there was a 10 day power outage. Yes... 10 days. I made the most of the time without electricity (or hot water!) however, when the electricity finally came back on, I cried. Seriously.I set up the dining room table like I was hosting craft days. Only, the only crafter was me!

I would get up, swim my laps, head to Starbucks for a coffee and hit the craft table.
If you were a loop and you happened to be in my house, you were becoming a pot holder. Pronto!
In the end I made 6 dishcloths (HIGHLY REWARDING!) and eleven (I thought it was one a day... hmmm maybe the power was out for 11 days. It's all a blur.) potholders. If you were a loop and you happened to be in my house, you were becoming a pot holder. Pronto!
I made the most of my time. :)
The dish cloth recipe using Crafter's Secret Cotton or Sugar and Cream:
Using a US 6/4mm or US 7/4.5 mm needle (I prefer a US 6 because I light a tighter cloth)
Cast on 3 stitches.
Knit 2, yarn over, knit to end.
Continue until 44 stitches on your needle.
Knit 1, knit 2 together, yarn over, knit 2 together, knit to end.
Repeat until 3 stitches remain.
Bind off.
