What's knitting...

I would not say I am losing interest in knitting but I have to admit I am in a bit of a funk when it comes to knitting.  After my chemo cap frenzy in March, I've been at a loss as to what to make next. I think I am feeling a tad burdened by my stash and am feeling like I want to bust through some of the yarn I like the least so I can reward myself by working on some of the bigger, nicer projects I have in mind.  Of course I am still knitting... just ever contemplating what's next.  Above, a vintage looking mitered dishtowel.  I need to make the button hole a tad smaller.  The pattern link is HERE.  My friend, Harriet, has made a few of these retro-looking dish towels and I've been admiring the nice style. It's a fun, quick knit! 
A collection of cotton kitchen goodies.  Some dish cloths, a hand towel, and in the center, a cup cozy.  The cables on the cup cozy are supposed to look like an owl.  It needs eyes. I am not happy with how it turned out.  I've been experimenting with cup cozies lately... I have some bugs to work out I suppose.

A close up of the mitered dishtowel. 

What's next... I am NOT sure...  I am crocheting some goodies for the local animal shelter...
more stash busting...

The dish towel turned out really nice. The whole set is so cute.
Would make a delightful gift. Harriet
