Experiments

 So I decided to use the rest of the Cotlin yarn to make a matching hand towel.  
I changed the size of the fabric stitches to make them closer (tighter hand).
 They turned out well but I wanted to try to tweak the idea a bit more-make the hems narrower and the faux I-cord edging a bit thicker.
 The dark towel used one whole skein of yarn, has narrower hems and one row more on the faux I-cord so it was a success!  And the whole thing took less than an hour with no hand work except for weaving in my yarn ends!
Now to use a yarn with with longer yardage so I can make a larger towel-
I'm thinking of using some of the cotton thread left over from my weaving projects!

  6. What a great use of yarn! You can always use hand towels and rags. And why not make them with pretty yarns.

SOME MORE BABY HATS

I added to the baby hat pile and even changed up the pattern with the finer yarn.  The one on the far left is really a pink;  I worked on it...
