FO: The Simple Eyelet Washcloth

OH MY GAWD! I FINISHED SOMETHING! It's a frickin' miracle I tell you! Throw another FO on the barbie, mate! Extra bonus and a gold star for using my stash! *bows deeply*

I call her the "Simple Eyelet Washcloth" taken from the Lion Brand Stitchfinder library.

Knit using 3/4 of a ball of Lily Sugar & Cream in White on US 10 with a 44 stitch cast on.

Approximate size before washing is 12" x 12" square. It'll shrink down to about 7" x 7" after washing. Something to keep in mind when dealing with cotton....the shrinkage factor.

Check out the difference in size between my newly finished Simple Eyelet and the Ruggles Turkish Washcloth I did back in October! *geez*

FO: The Ruggles Not Quite Authentic Turkish Bath Scrub Cloth

...c'est finit!

Yes, she is done and quite lovely. So much so that I had to take the ole washcloth for a spin before I even took the time to weave in the ends. The bobbles feel heavenly as they gently exfoliate your body. I did, however, notice that the washcloth stretches under the weight of the water and soap, so I'm thinking about frogging it and reknitting in a smaller gauge. I just don't like the way it splays out over the palm as you bathe.

Washcloth particulars:
I used Lily Sugar & Creme on US 08 needles and cast on 52 stitches for a final size of 10.5" x 10.5"

This time, I'm going to go swatch the pattern stitch using US05 and wet the swatch to see what it looks like before going forward.
