Shamrock Knit Dishcloth


Good afternoon, beautiful people! I have a new knitting pattern for you today. With it being close to St. Patrick’s Day, and I had some green cotton yarn to use, I decided to create a shamrock dishcloth pattern for me to use around the house. Besides, it also reminded me of the clover leaves that grow here on the farm, and who doesn’t want to bring a little bit of springtime inside after a long winter?

This is a fairly quick pattern to knit up, and it’s completely accessible to a beginner knitter. The only knitting knowledge you need to have it casting on and off, knitting, and purling. That’s it.

If you prefer a tightly-stitched, smaller cloth, you need to use US 3 or US 4 knitting needles. For a larger, more relaxed cloth, use US 5 or US 6 needles. I would suggest aluminum needles as cotton can get a bit grabby on wooden needles, or so I have found. Whatever you prefer, though.

So let’s grab your needles and your yarn, and let’s get started.

Materials:

  • Worsted Weight Cotton Yarn
  • Size 3 (3.25mm) — 6 (4mm) needles
  • Tapestry Needle

Knowledge Needed:

  • Knit
  • Purl
  • Casting On
  • Casting Off

Pattern:

Cast on 42 stitches.

How to Make and Can Mulberry Jam

Good day, everyone. Today we will be processing and canning mulberry jam. In our area, mulberries begin to come off the tree in mid- to late- May. Sometimes early June. But as soon as the kids and I see a few on the ground, we spread out clean sheets or a tarp that we don’t mind getting stained, and we shake the trees. The tiny reddish-purple berries start to fall, and we are able to collect them on the tarps/sheets. These berries do ripen over several weeks, so you won’t be able to collect your harvest in one single trip. We go out about once a week and repeat the tree shaking process. If your shaking is successful, you should have more than enough berries for canning and snacking. If you don’t get enough berries to make this recipe on your first harvest, they can be cleaned and frozen to keep them from going bad until you have collected enough. Now, to make the jam, you will need the following equipment: 2 quart saucepan (or larger if you are doubling this batch) A water-bath canner

Vanilla Crochet Round Coaster Pattern

Photo by Author Don’t let crocheting in the round intimidate you! I did for so many years because I was so scared I’d get it wrong. But it’s okay if you do. Just pull out the stitches, pick up your top loop, confirm your stitch count, and try again. Give it a try with this vanilla crochet round coaster. This pattern will teach you the basics of crocheting in the round, increasing in the round, and finishing a round. These are simple round coasters. If you can join a ring, double crochet, chain, and slip stitch, you can make these coasters easily. I use Worsted Weight dishcloth cotton yarn for my projects along with an H-Hook (5.00 mm). I also tend to crochet tight with cotton, so you may need to adjust your hook size for your project to lay flat. With all of that being said, let’s get to the pattern. Materials: H — Hook (5.00 mm) Worsted Weight Cotton Yarn (any worsted weight will work, but cotton will be the most absorbent when it comes to condensation.) Project Notes: The (Chain 2) a
