I realised that I didn’t have a take along project and I was wasting an hour a week travelling in the car to town to do the grocery shopping. (It’s 30 minutes each way and Gorgeous Man drives). I went stash diving and came up with this yarn I bought while visiting Colorado in January 2016 (in terms of my stash it’s a very young yarn).

I cast on for the Multidirectional dishcloth (but I’m going to use it on my face – too nice for dishes).
Two car trips later I had a finish.

I love the colours.
Here it is in all its glory.

Such a clever easy pattern! This used just under half the ball of yarn, so I have another facewasher on the needles, but the next one is just a simple linen stitch.
However, not all my recent knitting has been a success. This next project got pulled out.

The yarn is a handspun, and I like the yarn. I like the pattern. What I did not like was the way the two were working together.

The good news is that after years of silence, the yarn has let me know that it would like to be a hat.

I think a ribbed beanie will be a much better use for it.
