__________________________________

Abigail resides in a tiny mountain town, in the US, where she spoils her family, works part time and knits, perhaps too much.

When she was a little girl her Great Grandmother taught her how to crochet and she fell in love with the tiny hook. Many sweaters, Afghans, doilies and tablecloths (news flash)

flowed from her hands. Fast forward to August 2004. On her birthday, her son presented her with a "learn how to knit" kit. It took some time to get the hang of it as she had to teach herself with some help from

Barbara Walker and Elizabeth Zimmerman. When it all came together, she fell in love with this new form of fiber art. Soon sweaters and small knits and were brought forth.

A year later Abigail discovered sock knitting and has found her knitters "true love". It is a passion with 61 pairs of socks knit so far and many more to come. But occasionally she steps beyond her obsession and

knits other items. Once a dear blogger friend shared the famous Garterlac Dishcloth pattern and a new world of small knits opened up to her.

One day she was reading EZ book, Knitters Workshop and was inspired to knit a smaller version of the Baby Blanket in worsted weight dishcloth cotton. The 4 Corners Dishcloth was born and the rest is history.

Please visit her blog to find out more about the 4 Corners Dishcloth and to enter her contest.

Send her a picture and it will be entered into the 4 CORNERS GALLERY. The 100th dishcloth submission will win a prize. Send it to her email below.

She is also working on an additional contest. One person from the 100 dishcloths submitted will win a prize too. The person will be selected at random.)

You are more than welcome to visit her blog or email her at a1870pearl at yahoo.com. Keep on eye on her - you never know what she's going to knit up next.
