Hanging towels.

I found something to do while I figure out a dress pattern that has me bamboozled.

I make hanging tea towels.  Not really tea towels as they are all knitted.

Here is the pattern. Let freedom ring

And what I have made so far.  I did the first one in acrylic.  It's buried on the far left, and one was given away as soon at the tails were tucked and the button stitched on.  But these are what's left.  It gives you a good feeling to finish something quickly when you are stuck with a bigger project.

Well, I finished a sock last night but didn't realize I bought 2 different colors of wool so have to wait till I get into Micheals to pick up 2 matching balls to finish.

I really need to work on my sock skills, never did like making them not so fussy on them even now.
Kitchener stitch to finish off the toe, something else I need to work on. but at least the toes don't poke out the end.

Finished product, I used double thickness on the heel so it would wear longer. I kinda like the colors.
