Spa set

One of my co-workers recently bought a house, and I thought after all her hard work, she would appreciate some good thoughts her way while relaxing. So I made her this little spa set:


Two wash cloths and a back scrubber type thing.

Needle Size: 8
Patterns: Butterfly lace dishcloth, (left) Eyelet and bead dishcloth,(right) and the back scrubbber was from Knit Noel (quick Christmas knits)

I was happy to make it for her, because she did truly appreciate it. She used to knit, but can't anymore because her hands are bad. She knows what it takes to make something. However, working with the cotton did bother my hands after a while. Plus the k2tog or p2tog-b are not the easiest things to do with cotton. So I was happy to finish.

No washcloths for a while though.
TTFN!

  1. You are so right about cotton. I don't know how people knit so many washcloths. It's wasy to hard on my hands too. Last month I started on some chenille spa cloths. Still not finished yet. With the dryness in the air and the cotton yarn it's just not that comfortable.

  2. What a cute set! The sugar n' creme is hard on mine too makes them dry. A lot of times I use the Plymouth Naturale and it's not as bad : )

  4. That is so thoughtful! You're right, though, that cotton can be a bit hard on the hands. Maybe that's why I haven't knit any dishcloths in a while.
