New knitting project and inspiration

Inspired by my mum's beautiful wash cloths, I started knitting this hand towel in grey dk cotton.  I put a moss stitch border on with weave stitch main section.

Last sunday, Mr. Margie and I took a stroll in the bluebell woods at Mass Lough in Ballinakill Co. Laois with some friends, the carpet of bluebell leaves were dotted with vivid deep blue flowers. 

On our return home I noticed the wisteria is just about to flower, a more subtle hue than the bluebells, I have been challenged by nature to begin a blue project next.

        Happy May Day

 

Big hugs,

Wash cloths

A while ago I introduced my mum to knitting cotton washcloths, when I made two, a pale blue and a yellow one. She began knitting with great energy and experimented with various patterns, colours, and designs. As a result her washcloths have been in great demand. She has made washcloths for all our family in Ireland and the UK.


She came to visit a few days ago and brought two, a pale blue one, and a white one. They look perfect in the bathroom and are just lovely on the skin. Thank you Mum.

Big hugs,

Margie
