Super Absorbent Towel

Lynn was in today to help me. She put away a lot of Madelinetosh that arrived last week and then she moved around Felted Tweed. 

Same but Different (pattern purchased on Ravelry) is a beautiful cowl but the pictures I took last week didn’t do it justice. Thank you Lynn for modelling. We used one ball of Felted Tweed (197) and one skein of Dream State (Neveruary).

Same, but Different is a bandana style cowl, knit flat from the top down, similar to a triangular shawl. The distinctive patterning is simple to create, using the mosaic knitting technique. Carefully designed to integrate seamlessly from top to bottom, those captivating spine stitches are the prominent characteristic of Same but Different! But wait, there’s more … SBD also features a split seam at the back and a continuous I-cord bind off, for a beautiful and professional looking finish. 

The delightful shades of Spincycle’s Dream State combine beautifully with a dk weight yarn to create a unique and one of a kind knit accessory. Simply choose your favorite combo for an engaging knit you’ll not want to put down. 

Same but Different includes fully written and charted instructions. Each section is thoughtfully explained to guide you from start to finish. I highly recommend following the video tutorial provided in the pattern for the I-cord tab cast-on.

My Alpine Bloom is almost dry. I used my Cocoknits Super Absorbent Towel and it worked wonders.

Our Super-Absorbent Towel speeds up the process of drying hand washables by absorbing excess water from your garment before air drying. Made from a lightweight felt-like cloth, it soaks up much more water than a regular bath towel. By gently removing excess water and shortening drying time, our towel will help your knits look their best for years to come. 

Packaged in a reusable linen drawstring bag to minimize packaging waste.

• Towel made of 85% cotton; 10% PET polyester; 5% PE
• Dimensions: 39” / 1 m x 63” / 1.6 m
• One towel
• Drawstring linen storage bag

After soaking the garment, spread the piece on the towel and roll from one end to the other, jelly roll style. Kneel or step barefoot on the rolled towel to remove as much moisture as possible. Unroll the towel and gently hang or lay item flat to air dry.

Hang towel separately and allow to dry completely before folding for storage. Wash in cold water and air dry thoroughly before storing. Do not dry in a machine.

Tomorrow night I might be able to graft the lace edgings onto the sleeve. 

Now it’s time for football, baseball and knitting.
