This past week in Our Happy CAL Place on Ravelry, some of us made these cute Heart Pocket Note Holders. When I first saw the project I knew I wanted to make one to hang above my kitchen calendar to hold pens that I use to write stuff down with:
I feel kind of silly loving something so kitschy. But I do!
And see how well it coordinates with my calendar,
and it fills the purpose I envisioned for it perfectly:
By the way, the flower pattern was found here. It is not part of the note holder pattern - in case anyone is interested.

And then yesterday a new CAL was offered up for these Bowl Cozies:
Not wanting to give up, I looked at others' projects and noticed that someone else had pinched in the corners so I gave that a try. That did make it cozier and I look forward to giving it a try in the microwave soon. The pattern worked out correctly for more people than not, so don't let my flub dissuade you from giving the pattern a go if you like the idea of one of these things.
And being the last Sunday of February, I counted up my knitted (and one crocheted) dishcloth made this month. Ten new cloths added to the gift/use some day box:

Thanks for the reminder to look at this weeks CAL! The bowls with my dinnerware are really big in diameter and kind of shallow. But I would love to make a bowl insulator for them as they do get quite warm in the microwave. Ten cloths this month! You are on a roll. Your little heart pen holder is adorable and the flower really sets it off.
ReplyDeleteYour wee pen holder is both functional and brings you joy...Marie Kondo would approve. Ooooooh these cloths are so my colour pallet, yummy pinks and purples. Almost a quarter of your 100 skein aim achieved and we aren’t even at the end of February yet.
ReplyDeleteHow cute is the pen holder and it turned out just as you hoped and works just as you hoped, what's not to love about that Becki! Well done on so many completed cloths and the bowl cosy is such a great practical idea!
ReplyDeleteHow cute is that and yes...I love kitschy too! Great bowl 'potholder' for the microwave and your dishcloths are so pretty in all different colors and shades.
ReplyDeleteI'm still doing those tissue box covers...love that pattern!
Kitschy and super cute! It looks like your bowl cozy will be very functional and 10 (!) dishcloths is amazing. Definitely some yarny enthusiasm this week.
ReplyDeleteSometimes Kitsch is just what one needs! I love yours. I like the idea of a bowl cozy. I have bowls that get so hot in the microwave I can handle them and have to put them on a plate. Bowl cozy seems much better an idea.
ReplyDeleteGreat dishcloths and such a cute heart too. Never quite gotten the bug over the bowl holders - for some reason I have a fear they might catch on fire. I know better, but there you have it.
ReplyDeleteI love the pen holder and the dishcloths are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThat heart holder is fun. I haven't seen that before.
ReplyDeleteThe bowl cozy is great! I should make a few.
