Excellent! I wish I could take more credit, but those nifty names are simply the color names of the yarns I used...<br /><br />RW, Thank you. I like them too.<br /><br />Elizabeth, See my "Tumbleweed Woman" response above. Sigh...<br /><br />Erin, I love the blue too, but can't decide which is my favorite color. I think I like them best as a set.<br /><br />Diya, You should try again. Just do something simple like a scarf that is 100% knit stitch. It's easy peasy once you get going.<br /><br />Lucy, I knit them like I knit most things, sort of winging it. Let me see what I can recall... I used Sublime Organic Cotton dk yarn (50g) and used maybe 2/3 of each ball. I used US size 7 (4.5mm) bamboo needles. I believe I cast on 44 stitches for Drift (blue) and knit in seed stitch until I reached my desired size of 7x8". For Bean (green) and Clay (taupe) I cast on 40 stitches. Bean is a checkered pattern where I simply p4 k4 one row and then k4 p4 the next, and repeated both rows until I reached my desired size. Clay is double seed stitch. I finished by spritzing them with water via spray bottle and then shaping all four into neat rectangles and placing them on a clean dry towel to dry. I was imagining them as face or body cloths vs. dish cloths. I might knit tighter with a smaller needle for a dish cloth.<br /><br />Mise, Outbuildings of an old family farm! Love it! I wish I had made up the names, but I just swiped the names of the yarn colors I used...<br /><br />The Nest, Thank you and welcome!<br /><br />Rebekah, Thank you.<br /><br />Pen and Paperie, Thank you and yes, whilst is good fun. <br /><br />Camilla, You got it : )<br /><br />Elena, I still haven't tried socks, but a sweater is about to happen. I'm nervous!<br /><br />Anna, I see you are whilst loving too : )<br /><br />Maria, Who knew whilst had such a following? As I was knitting these I was thinking that they felt a bit Maria-like, the soft cotton yarn and comforting muted tones.<br /><br />Anne Marie, I do love these muted tones. Oh, I've been picking up the needles... I just finished a black scarf, have a blue bamboo scarf in the works, and have been working on a small orange pouf (coffee table sized foot rest) I'd like to fill with dried lima beans, it's the sweater that I can't seem to begin. I think I'll take the plunge this afternoon.Denise | Chez Danissehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06418226690328176970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5232927064230838150.post-80830867310273604512010-03-04T12:28:13.274-08:002010-03-04T12:28:13.274-08:00Love those pale colours...springy like in a modest...Love those pale colours...springy like in a modest way.<br /><br />Yay!
