wedding towels
here are the towels I knit for my nephew for his wedding. this is a not great picture of them because the color is wrong and the definition is not great.. there's a picture on my flickr that shows the pattern great! (in small size..) but the colors are TOTALLY horrid.. rofl.. so.. I picked this one. they are one blue and one green.. just not quite the blue and green they look.
these are the towels from mason dixon book, but I knit them in cotton instead of linen because I cheaped out.. I don't think they're really going to care about the towels (I bought them some stuff off their registry too) so.. I cheaped out on the towels. they're kinda pretty though.. wish you could see them in person. :) and one of these days I'ma knit some of linen but before I get around to that, I'm gonna try one in knitpicks cotlin.. soonish..
with any luck, I should come back from the wedding with a finished pair of monkey harlot socks.. and the horcrux ones came out of the wash today, not quite sparkley.. last time I wore 'em I wore 'em with sandals and walked all over williamsburg so they may never recover from that but.. it was worth it and I'll take their picture when I take the picture of the not yet finished ones. :)

I wish someone had made us towles when I got married... :-/ Oh well...
BTW, you got tagged
These look awesome! What yarn did you use? My daughter is moving out next month, and I want to knit her some, but that linen is spendy (as you know). Hmmm, I'm sure I can find a good cotton for them, though.
I never know how to answer people when they ask questions here.. this will have to do I reckon.
I used paton's grace for these, and it probably wasn't the best choice, being mercerized. they look nice.. I don't know how absorbant they are. :)
I made one more recently with knitpicks cotlin, that I kept.. so I'm using it, and it's pretty satisfactory, I'll do more. :)
