Speaking of old people who have to work, we had our staff holiday luncheon yesterday. It was a great afternoon filled with amazing Asian Cuisine, a hilarious gift exchange, and pottery painting. My kind of work day!
My not-so-dirty Santa gift (although dirty talk was the word of the day!) was part handmade and part store bought.
For you knitters out there or even those who want to pick up some needles for the first time, here is an easy pattern.
I used a basic cotton yarn and I think my pointy sticks were a size 8. I can't be sure because they were the bamboo kind and Pasha chewed off the end that had the #. Make due and mend! Although I will gladly accept new bamboo needles as gifts this Christmas, hint, hint.
Cast on as many stitches as you want your washcloth to be wide, but it must be an even number. I used 36.
Knit garter stitch (knit every row) until you have knitted about an inch, making sure to start the next section with the right side. I think I knit 8 rows.
Row 9: knit
Row 10: purl
Rows 11-14 repeat rows 9 and 10 twice.
The rest of the washcloth is double seed stitch. So...
Row 15: *k2, p2, repeat from * until the end of the row.
Row 16: *p2, k2, repeat from * until the end of the row.
Repeat rows 15 and 16 until you reach the desired length.
Bind off and enjoy!
