Knitted Bouclé Linen and Silk Washcloths...Plus New Bowls!

                            A friend of mine has been knitting cotton washcloths, lately...


                          ...so I decided to try a similar project using bouclé linen...


                                                             ...and silk yarn!


                                               I knitted them on the diagonal...


                            ...and, when done, wove the ends in as well as I could.

                    (Please remember that my knitting skills are still very rudimentary!) :)


                                 The linen bouclé one has a rough, textured surface...

                                       ...perfect for 'scrubby' use in the kitchen...


                                        ...but I'm keeping the softer, silk one...

                                                  ...for use as a face cloth!

                                           When I was in the UK this spring...

                                ...I indulged my fairly serious 'bowl addiction'...

                          ...with these vintage, handmade and thrift shop dishes.


                                I also found a mug to add to my Moomin collection...

                                                   ...in fabulous orange!! :)
