For the love of...dishcloth cotton (Part 1)

Lee,

So as I'm sure you know by now and I am completely infatuated with knitting kitchen dishcloths and bathroom handtowels... since you've seen just a few in my house...lol

Well, I'm proud to announce that I've officially converted Jenn to a full-blown cotton yarn addict...(bwah hah ha ha!)

This is a particularly dangerous habit since
#1 cotton yarn is SO reasonable to buy ($2-4.00 a skein)
#2 there are millions of colors to choose from
#3 the projects knit up relatively fast (instant gratification!)
#4 it is very "clean" to work with - lets you see every stich clearly so elaborate patterns look awesome (unfortunately that also means that every lil mistake is VERY obvious)

All of these factors cause a scary amount of cotton yarn to accumulate (very) quickly...

Luckily all that cotton knits up real pretty :) You saw the halloween handtowels here but I thought I'd share a few more...

I made this pastel & cream set to be guest handtowels in my downstairs bath



Here's a close up:



This crazy color combo matches my workshop :)



Close up of the detail stiching:



These are both the same pattern, but could hardly look more different!



Closer view of the neutral one:



One of my favorite patterns EVER - "English Ribbing"



Close- up of the loopy cooshiness of this towel :)



Two of a kind



Still on the needles



Some from my Brown & Cream period...



What a nice set!



Finally, a cute lil lamb to add to your collection :)



Love,
Colleen
