The Gift-Giving Season
The manner of giving is worth more than the gift.

So, when I went on and on and on about how I didn't knit last weekend, how good it was not to knit last weekend, well, I might have exaggerated a little for effect. I mean, I really didn't knit very much for having two whole days off and a little road trip and all. But I did manage to knit more than I will this weekend, what with being on call all weekend and all. (Last weekend was so much better than this one . . . sigh.) I did mangage to make this:
I actually only made the top one this weekend. It's Yvonne's Double Flower Cloth made out of a single skein of Berrocco Flax on US7s. It's knit in th eround from the inside out, and it is fun, fun, fun. Probably took about 3 hours or so. Lovely, isn't it? The bottom one is another linen facecloth like this one. This is the dragon scales from Knitter's Stash. A close-up? Just be forewarned that the color is more accurate above. But the texture is perfect.
Those of you keeping score will note that I probably have about 6 of these to do, and I'm kicking along with 3, almost 4 completed. When is Christmas, again?

Hey! Thanks for the comment on my blog. That is some truly lovely lace you've got going on there!
Those are gorgeous!
Hope call going well.
Very beautiful face cloths. I love them!
37 days to Christmas, but don't worry. Face cloths are a quick work.
They are lovely, just lovely....
oooo I really like them. I have been unable to find any washclothes so far that I really liked, and these are quite pretty. Thanks so much for bringing this pretty pattern to my attention, I think it will be just the thing to make for my mom.
I am glad to know I am not the only one with the washcloth bug!
You've got plenty of time! Assuming that you at least have a few days off and aren't running around sightseeing with your hunky beau!
I love the facecloths!! I printed out that pattern to make a couple for gifts myself. HA! Let's see if I can fit them in with the other eleventimillion things I wanna make as gifts!
Ohh, pretty! You're doing great for Christmas, as long as you don't have lots of on call time when they actually call you.
Pretty pretty, almost too pretty to use! Nice work, don't you love lace, it's so magical
Those are so lovely! Don't panic yet. There should be time to knit at our place this weekend (after all the eating, of course). :)
Those are simply lovely. Are you doing them all different, or will there be repeats? (Or was there already a repeat and I didn't notice?)
