But if you happen to have kool-aid points and you happen to be willing to give them to me, I would really, really appreciate it.  Thanks!

At the third shower I did super soft bathy washcloths, with the exception of the frist cloth.  My brother was in town for this particular shower, so I also tried to make sure at least one of the designs would appeal to him.  The colors match the towels they register for, for the most part, and the I Love This Yarn brand yarn (it was my first time using it) is incredibly soft and wonderful to work with.  I really loved using it.  First we have, and I know its kind of hard to see in this picture, the wedding bands cloth made out of sinfonia that didn't quite make it into the present the day before.  It was close, but it just wasn't ready. Next is the cloth I made to appeal to my brother.  I was going to try and make a whole set with this theme, but I just ran out of time.  Oh well, maybe sometime in the future.  You all know what it is, right? The yarn was so soft.  I know I said that already.  I did a simple garter ridges cloth to match the towels.  Thats always a fun and simple...

Part 2 in our saga begins with a new yarn for me.  I hadn't actually ever bought or knit with Sinfonia before.  Its nice, although very slippery.  But it made for some thin, pretty, more decorative looking cloths, perhaps for the bathroom or guest bath.  I honestly have no idea how well it holds up under use and washing but I checked Rav to make sure people had used this yarn for washcloths before and there seemed to be some positive feedback. The first cloth is a W since she has used the monogram a lot on the wedding stuff and in the coasters and wine stopper on the registry.  She has also gotten plates, napkins, stationary, etc with the monogram from various people, so it fits in well. Cloth number 2 is your traditional grandmother's favorite cloth in a variegated sinfonia.  The fact that its garter stitch gives it more squish than the 2 picture cloths, so it seems to me if any of them would stand up to more use, it might be this one.  The earth tones should match her bathroo...
