A Yay! and a D'oh.

Yesterday, in lieu of doing something actually productive around the house, I decided to finish up some of my ongoing projects.

1) Finished off the dishcloth.

I immediately ran off and washed some dishes with it. It's very substantial - nice and scrubby. I might prefer it to the Grandmother's Favorite; we'll have to see how it goes. And most of my remaining cotton yarn is at least vaguely coordinaty; I might be able to kick out a ballband dishcloth or two from it.

Here's the back, which is almost as textury as the front. Makes a nice grip.

Stats: Sugar 'n Cream, size 7 needles, pattern is Bramble Cloth from Knitty's Back to School washcloth set, with more bobbles instead of the embroidered band.

And the Baby Surprise Jacket got turned from amoeba form into an actual jacket.

It still needs buttons, and I didn't photograph the jacket yet because I realized after I was done seaming it that I'd done it inside-out. Hubby said he'd've never guessed, but I know what to look for - EZ's paired invisible M1 increases are only invisible on one side. :| It also looks oddly proportioned - but it did not grow in the wash to fit a four-year-old, despite the rumored ability of superwash yarn to do just that. I'm still pondering whether I want to rip out the seams...and whether to do a hat, and if so what kind.
