It's true! I confess. I am totally addicted to cotton yarn! Not that I'm not addicted to ALL yarn... but now cotton in particular. Thanks Coll! I stick my tongue out at you in thankful defiance. ;)
Sugars & Cream and Peaches & Cream... I love you.
And now... I'm on a roll with dishcloths and bathroom handtowels. It seems I always have one going on the needle. Whether it be for the house or a gift... right now mostly gifts now since the holiday season is swiftly creeping up on me.
Here are some pics of those that I have finished and of those that I have going on the needle now...
I love the English Ribbing pattern too! It makes for a nice, thick, cooshie towel! Here's one I made for the bathroom...
And another in green & white stripes...
Here is a kitchen handtowel I have going on the needle. This is a close second favorite to English Ribbing. It's a "clover" pattern. Ridiculously easy to knit... even I don't have to keep track of what row I'm on! I'm almost done with it now. It only took 1 skein each of green and cream. I changed up the pattern a little and CO 59 sts with size 8 needles. To finish, I'll probably use the cream though I'm undecided at the moment... (she has different colors on each end) Opinions?
This one... needs tweaking. I'm going with a "Ladybug" theme. I have to pull this out past the white stripe and past the red beneath it. I should have done white first, then red. Having red/white/red is too much garter stitch, not enough dots! I've been lazy though... I don't like ripping out rows demmit! Though after finally figuring out how to fix the English Ribbing dishcloth, I'm a little more confident. ;)
I have some Christmas color yarn to work with (went with Bernat cotton here)... and I'll bet more English Ribbing handtowels will look perfect with it!
Though I should really branch out and try more patterns. So many patterns... so little time!
Love,
Jenn
P.S. I am still determined to learn how to knit socks... and stuffed animals... and more and more...

I think that the ladybug towel is adorable, don't stress so much! I'm also loving the clover pattern, need to try that one of these days :)
I like the clover pattern...I love those colors...green n cream. Speaking of Christmas colors....I'm in love with any knit in pure white with silver threads scattered about. So elegant when done right.
