I&#8217;m still having a hard time believing that people go to all the trouble to knit these pretty squares and then use them on their drty dishes.<br \/>\nI finished another dishcloth too, and got my parcel off for the <a href=\"http:\/\/dishclothshuffle.blogspot.com\/\">Dishcloth Shuffle<\/a>. It&#8217;s winging it&#8217;s way to the other side of the world as I type.<br \/>\nAm I the only person who has a hard time knitting for another knitter? Suddenly I have the hardest time deciding. On the yarm. the stitch pattern, everything.<br \/>\nI even blocked the silly dishcloth for the swap.<br \/>\nAnd speaking of swaps, I got an email this morning that the final parcel for my half of the <a href=\"http:\/\/laceswap.blogspot.com\/\">Lace Swap<\/a> arrived. How cool is that? Every single swapper played nice. Way to go, ladies!<br \/>\nAnd thank you to <a href=\"http:\/\/pick-up-sticks.blogspot.com\/\">Ailsa<\/a>, there is no way I could have run the swap alone and not gone completely insane.<br \/>\nThe sewing? Well, I have been going to extraordinary lengths to avoid it. Procrastination is my secret middle name, I tell you.<br \/>\nI even <em>baked muffins<\/em> to avoid sewing. In the kitchen! With the oven!<br \/>\n<center><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"100_0536.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/100_0536.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" \/><\/center><br \/>\nOkay, it was a packet mix, but even that is adventurous for me.
