g is moving into a real house. said she won't have a house warming party. i've always wanted to make pot holders for such an occasion. so, she's getting them, party or not.
house warmers
yes, one is bigger than the other. i thought i had cast on the same number of stitches but, alas, i couldn't count. i hate math. but i love garter stitch. look at those beautiful loop hangers! two stitch idiot cord a la elizabeth zimmermann!
this is the first time i've knitted with cotton yarn. novel how it doesn't stretch at all. it's surprisingly soft. nice naturally blemished colored yarn. i prefer this sort of unprocessed cotton to mercenized cotton yarn, which makes the yarn shiny. i can't imagine knitting much with cotton other than pot holders. it's a lot heavier than wool. i've never cared for cotton sweaters anyway.
pot holders, what an excellent gift idea. birthday, christmas, anniversary, the possibilities are endless! don't you think? |
