WASHCLOTHS!!!

Well girls, we're 3 weeks into washcloths... what do you think so far???

Most of the feedback I've heard is that they knit up very fast, which is great and that many of you have been able to truly appreciate the "special-ness" of a hand knitted washcloth and have made some for yourselves and plan to make some for gifts. I think that's awesome!!!

Personally I like that it's quick, (I'm all about instant gratification) and it's teaching me to follow a pattern, which is something I was needing to learn.

In fact, our earflap hats are just about done!! I will post pictures this weekend. That was a great project because we got to learn a few new techniques to enhance our knitting abilities!!

To go along with our wash cloths, I've been soliciting for soap donations. I thought it would be great if each cloth could be wrapped around a little bar of soap and tied up with a ribbon. The soap donations aren't going so well, so far I've only had one company donate. But this soap is FANTASTIC!!! I will be ordering some for myself. It came from Ohio, Honey Hill Farm. Joan was kind enough to send me some "Orange Sherbet" soap and it smells yummy. Visit her site www.honeyhillfarm.com. She was very kind to us, and we really appreciate it.

Well gals, that's all for now, just wanted to post a little note and I hope your washcloths are going well, I know I'm really enjoying this project and it's for such a worthwhile group who can really use and appreciate this gift!
