A busy week means everything but knitting is put on the backburner.  A few rows here and there on simple projects have added up.  There's a new dishcloth, which was also a swatch to practice honeycomb stitch for a future scarf. 

The dishcloth was knit in Peaches and Cream on 6mm needles.  The recommended needles are 4.5mm.  It's no fun to knit on that size with a yarn that has no give. 

I played about with the pattern a bit, too.  This is the back and it shows what a difference changing one stitch can make.  Row 4 was a repeat of row 2 in the top section.

The honeycomb pattern was swatched on 5mm needles in Red Heart's Super Saver yarn, so I could see what it looked like on a recommended needle size.  It only took a few rows to see the pattern appear.  A few rows of stocking stitch were added, to make a clear break between that and the next practice swatch.  

Cold hands in class last night saw another pair of ingerless mitts cast on.  Yes, it's knitters logic.  lol. The yarn is Zara, an extra fine Australian merino.  The color is 1523 and came from deep stash.  Besides being in my favorite color, these will be a quick knit, plus super soft and toasty to wear.
