Three projects to talk about this week, all in different stages of progress:
Finished the first June dishcloth (I seem to be running about a dishcloth behind, but I'm kinda keeping up!) It is a palm tree, good summery image, but all I could do was laugh. Amy, this one's for us!! After living in SC, you either love or hate the palm tree. Why, you may ask. Well, the state tree/mascot/iconic image is the palmetto. It's EVERYWHERE!!!!!!! Every 3rd car has a palmetto & moon sticker of some sort (and, in the Upstate where I used to live, also about 6 pieces of Clemson paraphernalia). You can't escape it, and odds are (especially for non-native South Carolinians like Amy and myself) you will get sick of it. As soon as I saw the pattern, I decided to send it to Julie with the baby blanket, as a baby's washcloth. They live in FL, so they'll appreciate the palm tree, and they just moved there, so they aren't sick of it yet :)
Speaking of the baby blanket, MY YARN CAME!!! :) I'm casting on tonight, so it will officially be a WIP by the time I go to bed today!
Finally, one project still on the needles, Square Cake has another handle done (I'm on number 3 now). I hope it will be done next week by the time I post again (at least the knitting part - no guarantee on the lining part), but I think that might be a little optimistic. With the holiday weekend (We're going camping! In the desert!) and the excitement over the new project, Square Cake might need to wait a little longer before it's finished :)

I can't believe you actually could force yourself to knit that...the only saving grace for that is it isn't blue with a white palm tree!
Question...do monograms and family stick figures for your vehicle exist in the desert?
