I still knit, I promise!
Just not as often.
And for for long periods of time.
And not generally during the daytime hours.
Vintage Handtowel
I knit this up quite a while ago and I’m absolutely in love with it! It’s the pattern Mitered Hanging Towel from CanadianLiving.com. It’s a 100% cotton towel (you can even tell from this photo that someone has just used it to try their hands!) and it’s the best hand towel I have. I find that normally hand towels in the kitchen smell after a few days’ use. This thing’s been hanging on the oven for weeks (months? I’m not sure …) and nary a smell wafts from it nor your hands after using it. I just need to fix one little thing on it - the buttonhole is a titch too big and the button, although large, keeps sliding out, so I need to sew the hole closed a bit - nothing too big!
I’m working on another one - my idea was originally to have a matching hand towel and dishcloth for every day of the week - but it’s coming slowly. It doesn’t help that I just screwed up the pattern … that generally tends to immobilize me in my knitting - I truly hate fixing knitting mistakes … especially ones that take up an entire row. I think I might just go with the mistake and keep going. It’ll just be a little different in the striping pattern … and maybe that’s fun?
