What's knitting...

A little knitting this past weekend. The cap is a cotton version of the Lace Edged Women's Cap, a pattern  I've made quite a few times. The pattern link can be found HERE.  I found this pale pink cotton yarn at a store called "Tuesday Morning"... an odd store with an odd assortment of things.  I was thinking the yarn felt soft, but now that I've made the hat, I am not sure if the hat will be soft enough for a chemo cap. The yarn is called Fibranatura Links and is 100% organic cotton. The rest of what I bought will probably make some very nice dishcloths. 

A yes, those are Christmas Stockings... for Operation Holiday Stockings.  I promised myself I would try to make these through the year instead of waiting until the fall season when life seems to be so busy.  I splurged and bought this fluffy yarn called "Oh My!" from Plymouth Yarns for the contrasting cuffs on the stockings. It's a super soft, squishy yarn which reminds me of terry cloth when knitted up. 

I am working on a hand towel, too. More cotton from my Mom's stash... Thanks, Mom!  I was stumped about what to bring to my Thursday Knitting group last week and grabbed two skeins of cotton. What started out as a dishcloth has turned into a hand towel for the kitchen.  Super plain and super boring simple knitting, but super relaxing... perfect for an enjoyable afternoon with my knitting gal pals.
