Sarah's washcloths

Sarah's washcloths are finished and ready to mail to her. I used mercerized cotton and I wonder how well they will hold up?

I can't believe the summer is nearly over. All the lesson plans for the upcoming year are done. We'll start school the day after Labor Day and I think the children are ready to get back to academics.

This weekend we'll all celebrate my parents' 50th wedding anniversary. The entire extended family - Mom and Dad, Chuck and his family, my family and I - will all spend four days together at the beach. Four generations celebrating five decades of marital perseverance!

August knitting

It's very hot and humid now - just the right weather for knitting with cotton.

Sarah starts school soon, and I knit a few dishcloths for her and her roommate to use:



I also bought a few skeins of mercerized cotton to knit washcloths for her. I've never used mercerized cotton for anything other than garments before, and I'm interested to see how this turns out.


They will not be finished before she leaves, so I'm thinking they'll go into the first "care package" we send her.
