BEDLAM!

I am getting bored of knitting stretches of long wonky pink scarf, and then re-starting because I fluff it up. As I can now competently knit and purl, but clearly not for more than 20cm at a time, I wish to make a Thing.

You recommended facecloths. I have found A pattern of which I like the looks.

Important question: doesn't yarn just go soggy when you wet it? Is there some secret to buying yarn so it doesn't just turn into a damp mess when used?

ETA: HELL YES. I NEED THE ROYAL SYMBOL OF FRANCE ON MY FACECLOTH.

YARN YARN YARN YARN

I have:

* Nice varigated cotton yarn for basic washcloths
* Blue and gold cotton yarn for fluer-de-lis washcloth
* A LOT OF ACRYLIC YARN for no better reason than "it was on sale"
* Nice new bamboo needles
* Patterns for ALL KINDS OF WASHCLOTHS. Plain ones! Funny ones! Ones with a moose on them!

I also have:

* Spaghetti, which was supposed to be housemate's boy's lunch today but he forgot it, so I thieved it. It has olives in it. Weird.

And I have:

* Ticket to Fire and Ice at Hush tonight
* And thus, an excuse to deck out in corset etc
* Every intention of taking a ball of yarn and needles with me. BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY KINK AND FETISH NIGHT IS A GOOD NIGHT TO KNIT IN THE PUB.
