My friend Joyce had to cancel our lunch play date because she wasn't feeling well. I decided to send her my first gifted dishcloth (I prefer to use them as facecloths but that's just me). I've only been knitting 'facecloths' since early August. Before that, I thought they were kinda silly. Then, I 'came out' when I showed my knitting buddy Phyllis one I was finishing up. I've been a convert ever since I used one in the bath - what luxury (yes, I'm easy to please).
In Joyce's box I put some sweet hand milled lavender soap, a peaches n cream facecloth knitted in a heart pattern, and my favorite dialogue novel, Little Scarlet by Walter Mosely. I hope it cheers her up.
What a thoughtful gift. And facecloths sound like a great way to gently exfoliate.
ReplyDeleteI sent your blog along to WM himself so he could see his jacket nestled in amongst the bath items and the luscious cloth!
ReplyDeleteI finally finished a sweater I had been working on for a while--it was all done except for the sewing which I hate doing. I spent the night Saturday night with power and terrified of the trees all around my house!
What a wonderful gift! You're a very good friend.
ReplyDeleteI also love using my "dishcloths" as face cloths. They are so soft and yet they clean very well. I have one that I've been using on my dishes, too, and it works really well! I just made my first kitchen towel, too, and I'm learning just how useful knitting really can be!
