I was asked earlier this month to design a cloth for a small knitting group that meets locally. They wanted something for the new year that was small enough to be knitted multiple times to give as teacher's gifts. I thought this was a perfect choice for the mini cloth. It stands at only 5½"x5½" and most will be able to make one in about one to two hours. Such a fast knit it's addictive. If you've purchased one of my pattern sets then you'll know how fun and fast they are. I had to share this with everyone to celebrate the holiday's.
2009 New Year's Cloth:
Finished Measurements : Approx. 5½"x5½"
Materials: 1 ball Lily Sugar'n Cream Solid
US #3/3.25mm needles*
Tapestry Needle
*I used a smaller needle size to obtain denser fabric and to make the picture stand out more.

Wishing everyone a very happy and healthy new year! I have many resolutions that I wish to fulfill during the next couple months. My first is probably better organization. I am so grateful to be able to have the support to continue to design and offer my patterns through Ravelry and my website. I have many wonderful designs that I hope to bring to you this year. Thank you to everyone who has purchased a pattern. I hope you enjoy everything you create from it.
With love from our family to yours.

of course my dishcloths are never as pretty as yours... I think its cute how you split the numbers up.
Kris, I LOVE your dishrags. In fact I ordered 3 sets thru Ravelry! I would like to know the yarn colors you used for both Christmas sets. I never found a listing of them. I saw where you listed the Winter colors, thank you! Now for the colors for both Christmas sets so I can order yarn!
Thank you so much!

After making this dishcloth, I decided I wanted to make it larger, so I got out the graph paper and increased the stitches to 41 and rows to 58 and now I have a bigger cloth. Just LOVE your patterns. I have bought both Christmas packs as well as downloaded some free ones, however here in Australia we don't have the lovely cotton you have, so I have had to buy Peaches and Cream via internet...Julie from Australia
Thanks for the pattern!! I have purchased ALL of your seasonal cloth patterns and absolutely LOVE them! Keep designing!
