I am in the middle of three knitting projects right now and getting nowhere on any of them because we're in the process of moving. So. If there's even less posting than usual around here (is that even possible?), you'll know why.
I made these washcloths on a lark, because I saw them in a book (Yarnplay by Lisa Shobhana Mason) and they looked easy/cute, and I had some leftover cotton yarn hanging around anyway (hers are made of hemp, but cotton works just as well). They are easy, and I'm entertaining the idea of keeping some cotton yarn on hand from now on in case of last-minute gifts.
The top one is garter knit, which is k1p1 on one side and k across on the other, and the bottom one is broken rib, which is k2p2 across for six rows, then p2k2 across for the next six. The textures are interesting to look at, they make knitting the washcloths less boring, and they are a little bumpy, so the washcloths are a bit exfoliating.
