Knit 09.25.2009

A dear friend from my hometown recently got married. I knew I wanted to handcraft a gift for her that was both unique and useful. While scoping out her registry I came across this – her fine dining place settings:
KS library lane

I decided that matching dish towels were her must have.

Using Lion Brand’s Lion Cotton I knit up three towels to match the base plate and three to match the accent. The accent plate has an adorable, modern polka dot motif that I tried without success to recreate. The Glitterspun yarn worked well for the trim but was simply too tacky to double as dots (if I had kept it I would have had a Craft Fail on my hands), so I settled on dot-free accent towels.

The final product:
