this blue washcloth ...

Have you ever tried knitting or crocheting? If you have, then you likely know that uninterrupted, you can finish a washcloth in about an hour or so.

This particular blue washcloth ... well, shades of blue, white and a soft sea green (like the color of water on a tropical island) has taken me much longer than that!

I suppose if I took all of the times I sat down and in five minutes knit one set of the pattern, it could be just one hour.

For the pattern, click here. Or for the pdf of the sleeve, click here.

But, because I'm me and I lose my place at the slightest interruption, knitting only takes place when I'm alone ... unless of course, it's a super simple pattern without much variation.

So, this particular blue, white and soft sea green washcloth has taken me well over a month to complete ... and actually, honestly, going on two! :(

Why?

Well, for one thing, when I'm alone I either have something else I find to do or am just too tired to concentrate on a pattern and for another, I made a couple of big mistakes ... I tried talking and knitting at the same time and well, I lost my place ... and so, I started all over ... I know ... :( sad.

So, as you're reading this post, the second of the two blue, white and soft sea green washcloths is either on it's way just to New Jersey ... it's a gift for my very special friend Debra. If you haven't heard about how we met, you can read all about that fun adventure here.
