March Project Madness

 March came and went with a blink of an eye. I had a few projects finished and started a test knit.

First finish was another dishcloth. This one is called Halloween Cat Dishcloth and is another free pattern from One Crafty Mama. I used Premier's Home Cotton in Honeydew Splash. Completed on 3-7-25.

Since I had a bit of leftover yarn, I decided to make a matching Tribble which is a free pattern on Ravelry. Completed on 3-9-25.

Finally, I got my queen sized bedspread done! It is crocheted in the linen stitch and I based it upon the Coming Up Roses Throw which is a free pattern by Premier. I used a chain of 284. Next time, if there is a next time, I will make the chain a bit longer for a wider blanket. This pattern is easy to adjust to your needs and a very simple and mindless stitch that looks so nice when finished. I used 20 balls of Zeeman Royal Batik that came in some mystery bags from Mary Maxim. Unfortunately, I only have a photo of it with some of the ends not woven in. I was checking it out for length when I took the photo. As you can see - the cat had to test it out for comfort. Completed on 3-21-25.

I did a preview knit for Claire Slade of Verily Knits. She only requires a certain amount done, hence a preview. The pattern is called Plucky and is a lovely cowl. I used Uru.Yarn Silk DK in the colorway Enlightened. I received this yarn from KnitCrate (now no more). I had been looking for a special pattern to use it on and when Claire posted this pattern, I knew I finally found something to really show it off with. The yarn gives good stitch definition and I am pleased that I chose it for this project. Plucky is a paid for pattern and is available from The Verily Knits store on Ravelry.

I also had started a test for Catherine McLennan of Lullaby Lodge. This is the beginning of the Adore Tee  which is a paid pattern on Ravelry. I love the stitch but would probably change my choice in yarn.
