Ten-stitch Blanket

I have several unfinished knitting projects, a poncho, a shawl, a scarf, and a sweater are here with me in LaRibera, B.C.S., México. All four of those WIPs (works in progress) are well past the half way mark, and typically, I would be all in to finish. But, here I am, plugging along on my ten-stitch blanket. Go ahead, look it up on Ravelry. It is a free pattern.
Looks easy, doesn't it? Well, it is easy, requiring very little thought on my part, as well as using up my embarrassingly large stash of left-over sock weight yarn. I did not bring the entire amount of sock weight yarn with me, though, and I guess I will probably run out sometime next week. Sigh.

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.
