FO: Easter Wreath and Circle Cloth

Last year, I made a wreath for Easter. It was rather easy and quick to as well. The baby yarn (which I had leftover in my stash) always made me think of spring and Easter, I already had the wreath form and I got the ribbon at Pat Catan's for 97 cents! So, overall, I'd say this probably cost me less than $5. Not too bad if you ask me.

I didn't follow a pattern for this, but I think I do recall seeing a pattern (or something similar) on the Lion Brand website recently. It was very, very easy. All I did was measure the wreath form, and knit a tube that would fit around it, sew it up and then make/attach the bow.

I even think I will be making more for other holidays, too.

Also, my mother is in desperate need of some new dishcloths. I mean, her's have gotten very bad. Look and see for yourself:

So, slowly but surely, I am begining to replace all of them. This time, though, instead of making all of "Grandmother's Favorite" cloths, I wanted to make some fun ones and try some new things.

The first pattern I tried/finished was The Circle Cloth. You can find it here on Ravelry. For being the first time I ever knitted with two colors in that manner, it worked up very quickly. The pattern was easy to follow and very fun.
