More Knitting with Bernat Handicrafter "STRIPES"

.

"Two~way" Dishcloth done with "Tie Dye Stripes"

.
This "two~way" cloth pattern can be found here at "Strings and Sealing Wax"
.
Here is my "Scallop Pattern" cloth that I did using "Country Stripes".
.
This pretty pattern can be found here ...it only has the "pattern" instructions written out, so you need to add the stitches for your border on the sides and do extra rows for the top and bottom border...I just added 6 stitches...3 for each side and I knit 3 extra rows top and bottom for the border. This is a really pretty pattern and a simple one to follow.
.

And here is the "feather & fan" cloth that my dear daughter Kailey Marie(9yrs.old) knit up with Mary Anne's variatioin using her "Pinky Stripes". This is one of our favourite patterns to do up...looks soooooo pretty with the self~striping cotton!
.

Today marks the 30th anniversary of Elvis Presley's death.

This awesome cloth above was designed and knit by my dear friend Marilyn. You can find this pattern at Marilyn's Knitting Heaven on Earth and you can also find a freebie cloth that she has done with the name "Elvis" on it, on her other site: Knitting Heaven on Earth.

Thank you Marilyn for this wonderful design!
