NOT the paper towel !! haha
(Pattern below)
A surprising transformation
a mundane chore ( counter clean up )
turns itself to
……..–indulging yourself..
when one makes exactly the right tool for that act.
Turning the an act
from a mindless chore- — to one in which one lives in the moment
****************************************************
The lazy purl makes it easy and the seed stitch is perfect for absorbing water!
YARN: Brown Sheep Cotton Fleece ( 80% cotton – 20% wool)
or any worsted 100% cotton , or tripled linen or cotton/linen.
***************************************************************************
Gauge 16 stitches 24 rows in 4 inches 13″ x 15″
Cast on : 52 on size 10 needles 14″( to allow for mighty shrinkage)
(I used cable cast on)
Seed stitch all the way
row 1 *K1, P1*
row 2 * P1 , K1 * alternate rows one and two
or CO 51 * K1 P1 K1* repeat each row
Knit for 15 “‘ then bind off
( or knit ’til the end of the skein if you want it longer )
NOTE: wind into ball first ( learn from my error!)
