Bath Mitts R Us

I guess I've been slacking on blogging about anything, I was overwhelmed with too much stress and had to take a break.  During that break, however, I did a lot of crocheting.  Bath mitts are fun, fast, and allow me to get creative and relax, take my mind off things (like the dogs, cats, Mom, my kids, my b.f., the house, my car, grocery shopping, paying bills, working, not working, blogging, not blogging....  you get the idea)


Here's some of them, they are all available in my etsy store. 

(Mom saw this one and said, Since when do owls have whiskers?  - Thanks Mom.  It's supposed to be a kitty.  - Mom rolls her eyes and says "Ooooohhhhh."  That was it.  lol.  What a character she is.  )

Assuming you can tell this is a duck, I'll tell you I wanted it to have certain texture to look like feathers.  I used a simple star-type stitch that worked perfectly for what I wanted.  (see closeup below)

And what's a duck without a tail?  lol  Mom giggled pretty nicely when I showed her the duck tail and feet.   lol









I should post the stitch pattern for this on a new post, it is a good one for any type of dish cloth or wash cloth or bath mitt.  It is dense, textured for scrubbing, and the cloth is still nice and soft when wet so there's no uncomfortableness when bathing.  The stitch also moves along real easy making the mitts or what have you very quick to stitch up. 






More bath mitts to follow!  Wheeee!!!   (can you tell I'm having an exceptional day?  There is someone here to sit with Mom and free me up to do whatever I please.  Yea!    )
