Good Evening Friends:
First I want to say Happy Labor Day to those of you who celebrated it. I hope you had a relaxing weekend with family and friends or even just yourself. I know I did. I went to the Miami Marlins game with family yesterday at the new Marlins ballpark. It was the first time I had been to the new ballpark since it opened this year. I had a great time watching our boys play. The best part of it all was we enjoyed the game without the sun and humidity beating down on us. Yes, our new ballpark stadium has a retractable dome roof and it is fabulous. I wasn't too crazy about the amount of tax payer money that stadium cost our city, but I won't complain about that dome roof at all. Besides it being convenient, it really was a necessary addition since baseball season is the same time as the rainy season down here.
I finished a knitting project today. The last time I picked up a pair of knitting needles was almost 2 years ago, so it was time to do a project of some sort before I ended up forgetting everything I knew! I decided to do a dishcloth using a pattern from the book "Kitchen Bright Dishcloths" by Leisure Arts.

I used Lily Sugar' N Cream yarn in the color "Over the Rainbow" and knitted on size 7 needles. The pattern I used in the book is called Bee Stitch. See the bees? :)
This stitch was easy and makes for a nice thick cloth. Perfect for the kitchen I think or even as a washcloth in the bathroom. My dishcloth finished at 9" square.
I also want to give you all a preview of a future project I am planning to do. It is a quilt for my 8 year old son. He loves The Cat in the Hat. I showed him the quilt kits that are on the market now. His choice was this one:
He liked it because it had the most pictures of Cat in the Hat characters on it. I found this kit for a reasonable price online already. I just have to wait a little bit to get it. I can't wait to start this for him. It is adorable.
Thank you for visiting with me today. I have done some cross stitching but I will save that for the next post. Take care everyone and have a wonderful week.
