Moss Grid Handtowels

Here's my Moss Grid Handtowels, just gifted for some friends' anniversary party. They were a great simple and reasonably quick knit. I used Knit Picks Cotlin in Moroccan Red, Nightfall, and Key Lime on size 5 needles. They took just more than 1 and 1/2 balls each so I'll have to come up with something interesting for the scraps. Maybe a matching mini chevron towel.

Those are beautiful! How did you like the CotLin? I have one ball that I haven't done anything yet. Have you washed the towels? I wonder how much the yarn softens after washing...

Ooh, pretty! I have some linen lying around, just waiting for me to get started on a few of these. But the CotLin...hmm...

Lovely! The colors are just delicious! What yarn did you use and how much blocking, if any, was required?

I was just thinking about the CotLin and these towels yesterday. I was wondering how they would work together, and they look great!

Aw, so glad you guys like these.

The cotlin was great to work with. As much as I love the look of linen, I find it frustrating to work with. It also helped that Cotlin is MUCH cheaper.

I ran short on time and didn't wash these before I gifted them so instead of blocking I just ironed them. Steam iron with a cloth over the towel. They looked great just like that.

Christian Shoes
can be relied on for a hint of executive authority, more brands are marketing air-cushioned Christian Louboutin Boots
or walking Christian Louboutin Sandals
. La New, plans to introduce " Christian Louboutin Pumps
" for their 2009 spring and summer lines.
