I knit this kitchen towel using Lion Brand cotton. I bought the button at my LYS. It is a pansy and was made in Germany. the pattern for this towel can be found at

MJ;s Kitchen towel
Mood:  happy

I knit this cute little kitchen towel over the weekend. My Dear knitting friend Mary Jane put this pattern together. I love it. I think that it turned out great! I am going to knit a dishcloth to match the towel, and it will become a nice gift for someone.

WIP
Now Playing: Elizabeth Zimmermann Bog Jacket

I am knitting EZ's Bog Jacket, that is in her book Knitting Around chapter 5. I have put in 3 sets of short rows for shapping in the back of the jacket, and did some waist shaping of the jacket. I am almost to the underarm section of the jacket. At that point I will put in the Phoney side seams.
