School Cloths...

Well, my kiddies decided that today would be a great day for 2 and a half hour naps. It allowed me to clean up the living room a little and finish the pdf file for the School/Teacher Cloths. I actually finished the knitting last week but wasn't able to take photos until Sunday. I love this set. I'm actually giving these to a very special teacher in my life. I know she's going to be all smiles when I see her tomorrow.

I'm going to try and get a few more sets out this month while I still have some free time. I'm hoping to finish the "Wedding Set" by next Friday. I'm about halfway through charting the patterns. Some have asked what program I use to put the pattern booklets together. All I really use is a simple cross stitch charting program that lets you click on small boxes to design an image, and photoshop. After I design the images, I write out each picture's pattern, knit them up, block, take photographs and load them into the computer. I really enjoy creating an exciting and original cover page for each pattern set. The rest is all editing text, resizing photos to make sure everything fits on a page to be printed, then adding some extra theme to the pattern. I really hope you enjoy everyone of these sets. A lot of love and creativity goes into each one to make it special. The kids are even starting to get involved when I design the charts. Victor especially loved the Easter set.


This pattern is available as a PDF download and priced at $3.25. There are eight cloth patterns in this set. You can purchase this pattern if you are a Ravelry member by clicking the "Buy Now" button below the pictures. The Baby Cloths are also available in my Pattern Store here as a Ravelry Download. There are 5 pages total and the download is sized at 6MB. If you have any questions about the pattern or payment options, please feel free to contact me via email at kris@krisknits.com or on Ravelry: KristenKnits.

I made each written pattern with a corresponding chart for the dishcloth. From the sets that I've already made, I've managed to get about 2-2½ cloths out of one ball of Lily's Sugar'n Cream Solid Yarn. Though you can use any kitchen cotton you prefer.

I should probably start dinner now. Later I'm going to get to all the emails I have. Promise!

These (just like all your other cloths) are adorable. I'd like to do a contest on my blog with one of your sets, if that's okay with you. You can get back to me at Shantadothayesatgmaildotcom

Just wanted to let you know that I love your cloths!! I was knitting the 123 up and noticed a typo in the written directions: row 46 should be P15, not 19! Just thought I would let you know so you can update your PDF for future purchasers!!
