  1. That is really cute. I may have to harm my husband if he wiped chocolate pudding on that rather than on my $12 flour sack towels. ;)

  3. I haven't knit in about 45 years. Told my sisters I have forgotten how. I think I will try this simple pattern for a refresher before I begin something more intricate. Thanks for the simplicity.
