I find dishcloths easy peasy to block. I just pin them out on the ironing board on a towel, spray and leave overnight. Viola a nice straight dishcloth. Your knitting is very good Ali - really even. I can't wait to show Lucinda the poos - she will just LOVE them!Louisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13839525522352061118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25185166.post-8210660488458026852007-12-21T09:27:00.000Z2007-12-21T09:27:00.000ZTastiest looking poos I've ever seen - not, I hasten to add, that I've looked at many (only my own!). <BR/>Love the dishcloths, how I wish I could knit!<BR/>The coffee grinder was from good old ebay, there were a couple on when I looked, it cost about £18 inc postage but I love it, search under "vintage coffee grinder" - good luck!<BR/>Have a lovely Christmas and a great new year!<BR/>Julia xjuliahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00821427565897275123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25185166.post-9418508119235578892007-12-21T08:43:00.000Z2007-12-21T08:43:00.000ZGreat presents. I've made vanilla sugar for my sister but would have had to start in February to get dishcloths knitted! The poo comment made me laugh lots.

They look lovely once dipped though...and not at all lavatorial. <BR/><BR/>My two were waiting at the window for friends to arriv and my little boy (who has worryingly shown no inclination for phonics, reading, letter recognition....the list goes on) shouted quite unexpectedly 'p for poo'. I was so delighted that I didn't spot the way that this might go....w for wee, w for willy, b for bottom...<BR/><BR/>...am off to write my educational book now: teaching through toilet humour. Urg...I'm sure he's going to embarrass me with this...<BR/><BR/>How have I not managed to reply to your lovely email, and yet found time to write all this randomness? Sorry!
