Blue blob this week

It is a big blue blob right now, but by this time next week my plan is to have a completed hoodie. I really could have used this sweater this week because the temperatures have been quite cool every day.
The pattern is in the Winter 2013 Knitscene issue. I am using the suggested yarn, Simpliworsted by Hikoo, and the color is Royal.

Rub-a-Dub!

Toddler Hooded Towel

Rub-a-Dub is a 100% microfiber yarn distributed by Skacel Knitting. It is very soft, highly absorbent and dries quickly, making it a perfect choice for this "Squeaky Clean Toddler Hooded Towel". The pattern knits up quickly on size 11 needles, with a gauge of about 2 stitches per inch. I used one plus part of a second skein, with enough yarn from the second skein to make two washcloths. What a nice gift for a new Mom! This yarn retails for $16.
