Happy May Day
I saw this on ravelry and had to make one for my Mother's upcoming 87th birthday. I usually make dishcloths for her but this is wonderful. I will also make dishclothes.
Pattern: Waffle Knit Dishtowel, ravelry link
Yarn: Peaches & Creme, color 165, Daisy Ombre
Needle: Size 7
This was a fun knit. I used a little more than half of a 1 pound cone and there are no knots in the towel, just had to weave in the begining and end strings. Definately will be making more of these.
Pattern: Ashes by Monika of Smoking Hot Needles
Needle: Size 1
I knit this to the pattern specs but it is too small. I actually knit the second sock twice. I first knit it while waiting at my Mother's surgery. Lots of worry went into that sock so I pulled it apart and reknit when home. BTW: Surgery was good. Tumor removed, cancerous but all lymph node around were clean.
Yarn: Trekking Hand Art purchased at The Loopy Ewe
Needle: Size 0
I love this pattern. It is a toe up pattern but I am knitting cuff down. I forgot to reverse the cables. I still like this sock. The yarn needed some kind of pattern. I know the cables get lost in the yarn but............. How about that Japanese Red Maple?

Wow...you certainly are a busy person :)
Love your waffle dishtowel...the ombre yarn resulted in a very nice pattern (pooling). Your mother will love it :)
Your socks are quite lovely as well.
Glad your mother had good results and will have a speedy recovery!
happy knitting :)
Beautiful blue socks!
Happy to hear there was good news for your mom.
Oh! Gorgeous cabley blue socks. Love those. Your towel yarn patterned in a very cool manner indeed! So cool when that happens. Glad your mom's news was good. :)
Great knits. I'm glad all went well with your mother!
So glad to hear your mother's surgery went well and that the nodes are clear. I went through similar with my mom nearly four years ago,and she is back to her old self today! I pray the same for your mom. (ps-- hope the socks and yarn brought you comfort while you were waiting through your ordeal.)
