i just bought my first piece of monks cloth,and 2 skeins of yarn to try to make a baby blanket. i have until December for the new grandson to get here..so lots of time to check this out.


not much in the way of booklets or info on it at Joanns.

the pattern i am going to try is "Baby Baubles" by Jean Leinhauser .

Should be very pretty. I am sure you will post pictures of WIP.

How fun! I loved watching my BF's Mom make these. She had booklets that she got from her MIL. :D:D:D

It will be sooo beautiful. Be sure to post pictures. I can't wait to see it.

hard to find booklets. i am going to check ebay i think.
my friend told me to sew around the edges, then wash and dry it to preshrink the monks cloth.

I have only seen it as a trim on dish cloths............my friend in Harrison Mi used to do it..........calla

OK, I had no idea what this was.

Looks like you could easily create your own graphics and stitch those.

Very interesting. Learn something new everyday. Thanks for posting it.

that's kinda cool. I might try it to make some tea towels.

Love doing Swedish weaving. Made afghan took a while but well worth it.

I am slow getting started, but start I did!

Using variegated and Chocolate yarns...it is very relaxing...

i don't need another hobby..but i like doing this. It will be a blanket for the Grandson due in December..i call him "Henry"..they can call him what they want!
