  Early morning knitting

I took this pic this morning with my phone in less-than-ideal light to
show my sister - it came out better than I expected. It's the first
third of a dishcloth I am knitting. It will have a pawprint pattern.
It's draped over Toad (colliething 2.0) for the pic.

I am liking working with cotton more than I expected to. Who'd'thunk
that knitting a dishcloth could be so satisfying? I knit a small one
to practice various stitching patterns and Bill and I are both
enjoying it, even though it's (1) too small, (2) in red/white/blue
(hey - it was on sale!), and (3) has ribbing in the middle, which
constricts it in a funny way. This one should be more respectable in
shape and size. The yarn is a sort of acid green which I probably
would not have chosen if there had been other colors (besides
red-white-blue, which I also got) in the 'one pound mill ends sale
bags' section, but actually
I'm staring to like it.

I let go of the law, and people become honest.
I let go of economics, and people become prosperous.
I let go of religion and people become serene.
I let go of all desire for the common good,
and the good becomes common as grass.
When the will to power is in charge,
the higher the ideals, the lower the results.
