C2C Sparkle Design

                      Every Year it is my mission to learn a new technique and add to my fiber arts knowledge.  I have been a bit behind to actually join the C2C trend.  In thought, A trip to Joann's inspired my annual gift giving of washcloths.  This amazing towel was on sale and I thought what would be the best way to do a heart image?  Inspiration ensued ! I decided to learn C2C just to do the heart image.  

                  I would not recommend attempting C2C until you have basic chart/ pattern reading knowledge.  Making dish clothes was the perfect way to learn.  Easy to frog if mistake was made.  Keeping myself honest, I personally frogged twice.  Note to self you need to pay attention to your diagonal row numbers left & right.  

                 I have been fascinated with the sparkle scrubby offered by Red Heart.  My family has raved on the light quick drying features.  It is 100% Polyester and machine washable.  I am just elated how the sparkle scrubby worked out.  For this project I also used cotton red heart Aran colorway for the ivory / pink combo.  Using the Aran cotton, added a spa cloth touch to the wash cloth.  I did carry my color throughout hearts, it can be barely seen in the end.  If doing a large blanket , I would drop color or use bobbins.  Since this was washcloth preferred to keep it simple quick.

              I will be doing more C2C with the Sparkle !    Once you understand the pattern graphing it works up really quick.    All materials used linked down below !  Happy Yarning !
