I always thought knitted shorts would be super comfortable. Yesterday, while checking out Amanda of Monkey’s are my Friends website, I struck gold. I found some super comfy knitted shorts to make for myself. Score!

After she revealed the knitting pattern, I eagerly logged onto Ravelry and checked out her project page, downloaded the pattern for myself. You can download it too. It’s called, Assets of Evo and it’s free! Most of my knitting patterns have been purchased. After I downloaded the pattern, I checked out the finished knitted shorts made by others. Based on the reviews I read from those who completed these shorts, she wasn’t the only one raving about how comfortable they are. I think I’ll knit my shorts a little bit longer and these will be my comfy shorts I wear around the house. They look so comfortable, I would not be surprised if I made more! The only thing left to do is purchase the yarn. I’m thinking a wool superwash and perhaps in variegated colors. I want yarn that is colorful and bright.

I can’t wait to knit these for myself, but first I must knit a hat for my daughter and while I’m at it, I’ll sew a few hats for her too. She loves them. This past May, my daughter turned 12 years old.

Whew… my posts have been sporadic and lately they’ve been all about knitting. Sighs, I look fondly at my sewing machines and beadwork; however, at the moment, I simply do not have the time.

But knitting is different… it’s portable and can accompany me almost anywhere. This past weekend, we were visiting the BF’s parents in Bridgeville, Delaware. During our down time I was able to complete one more knitted washcloth, which is not shown here.

The above washcloths were gifted to the BF last week. Yesterday, he finally got around to sending me the pictures he’d taken. In the above photo, the accompanying text was… “To my heart of hearts!” Later, when chatting with him on the phone, he asked me what I thought about his “heart display.” I had no idea what he was referring to until he explained he tried to arrange the knitted washcloths in a heart pattern. I went back, and saw the heart formation. How sweet was that.

These washcloths are still made using 100% cotton; however, I used a different brand that seems softer. This morning, my BF finally got around to trying one of the new washcloths and told me they are amazing! It looks like we have a keeper. I’ll make a few more knitted washcloth sets for his home and then I’ll focus on another project.
