While looking through posts for the monthly dishcloth Yahoo! group, I saw a link for a Tribble Scrubbby. It looked easy to do and would use up left-over cotton yarn. And it was and did. I used another type of increase than the kfb and also did something akin to a 3-needle bind off to bind off and attach the 2 ends at the same time. I haven't used it for its intended purpose yet. It's too pretty. The two pics are the finished product and the scrubby before the bind off.
I've also finished the March Monkey socks that I'd been working on. A picture is here.
The sweater I'm working on is working out nicely. It's a top-down raglan. I've gotten to the bottom "hem", which, right now, is in moss stitch. And, I've detached the red ball of yarn that was used on the neckline. In other words, I like the way the sweater is turning out well enough to make the step of detaching yarn.
And, finally, since I'm intrigued by lace at the moment, I'm trying to knit a curtain for my DDs bathroom here to replace the Venetian blinds that are there now. I'm not ready to post a picture yet since I'd hate to post a picture of something that may be frogged at any minute.
In other news, my DS1 has a car now. (He had been walking to work -- a 20 minute walk, and still may be.) But, it was probably time for him to get a car. He lives in California and works at a car dealership.
My DD has a summer internship.
And I just received my last issue of the Atlantic! Before it changed its name, it had really interesting articles. But now it has articles that one can find just about anywhere.

Your tribble is too cute! Well done.
Could you possible send me the pattern for the High arch short row heel that appears on your side bar. I can't seem to open the link/file.
Thank you:D
Abigail, I don't know why the link didn't work. If nothing else, you might be able to right click on the link and then choose "open link " in new window or tab.
I couldn't find your email address. So, here are a few notes on the pattern.
The sock is a variation on the Sherman sock. The big difference is doing 3 pairs of gusset increases before starting the heel -- and then doing the heel (and the cuff) on a larger number of sts.
By the way, to keep track of short rows, I ended up putting small lengths of scrap yarn at the end of each short row. Also, the Sherman sock has a short-row toe and heel, but one can substitute any other toe.
