WOW! REALLY NICE SET!Thanks for posting! I wonder if you've had any problems with color bleeding with this yarn group, as I did get a lot of red bleeding with the red, white and blue yarn last year,even with soaking in vinegar water! Just be careful :)
Thanks for posting this!! I love it! I plan to make it with two strands together of Cotton Eco Hart in red and natural for my mom and my mother-in-law for christmas!
Thanks again!!
Thank you for the great pattern I knitted the hanging towel and dishcloth for my mom for mothers day in pink even as she loves that color. I can't wait to make more for different holidays and things. I enjoy your blog very much and I"m also working on a scarf from here. I hope your having a nice day thanks again so much I really enjoyed knitting this towel set for my mom :)
happy knitting
Tammy :)
Looking for the bag holder and dish cloth pattern where could a person find them?
If you go to the web version of the blog you'll find the list of links in the left hand side of the page. They don't show up on the mobile view.
