Loose Ends

Believe it or not, but I actually have finishes piling up that haven't been blogged.  So here we go, tying up loose ends so-to-speak.

Small face sponges.  Perfect for washing my face at the end of the day.  I really love them and you can knit a whole pile of them in an hour's time...

These bracelets were another quick and fun project.  And a perfect excuse to sift through my buttons...

    Hi Staci,

    Good Grief!! There's a knitting
    pattern for just about anything
    you could wish for, eh? Small
    face sponges no less. Well, I
    love the colors (especially the
    pink) and they do look like they
    would be just the ticket for
    washing your face. I don't like
    HUGE face cloths anyways. Too
    bulky which equals water spraying
    everywhere when I wash.

    Then there's the knitted
    bracelets. Love the color
    changes in the yarns that
    you used and aren't they
    the perfect thing for
    showcasing favorite and/or
    unusual buttons.

    Your Dad should love those
    socks. They're sure to be
    warmer, softer and more
    comfortable and durable then
    the store bought kind. But
    really .... fifteen years??

    The baby blanket for your
    nephew and his wife looks
    pretty nifty. I suspect
    that this will be used long
    after the child leaves baby-
    hood behind. The color
    makes it suitable for an
    older child or teen even.
    Love that spiral pattern
    which emphasizes the swirls
    of color in the yarn.

    Cheers!

    Wow! You've been very busy, Staci--great knitted finishes. So unique, too...

    And what is it that makes sifting through buttons so enjoyable? I do the same thing for no reason at all :)

    Very creative Staci, knitting is next on my list to learn. The payback on the time it takes to make all your wonderful projects must be so gratifying. :)
