More, different, squares

These have provided soothing, easy, in-between-projects knitting lately and as a bonus, they make nice gifts that can be used either as dishcloths or washcloths, burpcloths, whatever, and as has been proven before in several knitting books, they serve well themselves as giftwrap.  One of these is wrapped around a bag of candied grapefruit peel.  These used up almost all my stashed kitchen cotton yarns, the color blocked ones were just knit until each ball ran out then picking up another, and they ended up making a nice set together.

Great use of left over yarn. I can knit those squares - no problem. How many stitches did you start with for the square you posted yesterday? I have some of the 'striped' and self-patterning sock yarn that would look good with that method, which I presume is started on perhaps 4 sts and then increased!

Is that snow?

Hooray for washcloths! I love to carry one around in progress...it makes for simple knitting and is useful at the same time. I find my knitting to be most gratifying when it is a practical but pretty project.
