Knitted washcloths

These washcloths are knitted on Size 3 needles from fingering weight cotton. The pattern is from "A Washcloth in a Suitcase" in PIecework Magazine, November/December 2013 issue. These have taken so long to post because they were Christmas presents that were delivered late, and who wants to find out what they are getting for Christmas from the Internet??

I could knit these forever. They are garter stitch short rows, and the last three stitches form that cute little scalloped border.

Market bag

The pattern is from Jane Austen Knits, Summer 2012. They called it the "Pemberly Reticule" in the magazine, but I call it a Market Bag. Yarn from Knit Picks, Comfy Fingering (75% Pima Cotton, 25% Acrylic), color: Blackberry. The pattern calls for 861 yards, but this bag only used about 550 yards. The bottom is worked with double yarn on size six needles. The upper pattern, called "Cathedral Windows" was knit half on size 5 needles and half on size 4.
