cotton projects
i didn’t mean to but i stopped in at Maiwa the other day and picked up some organic cotton for a few simple seed stitch wash cloths. seed stitch was new for me, very simple and rhythmic to knit over coffee at the cafe. i love a project that i can toss in my tote and finish here and there in a day. i’m hoping there’s enough of each colorway to make a match and then if i’m still into it i might try and knit those Pakucho organic cottons too. my current wash cloths are due for replacement!
still need to block these to even out the stitches but i’ll wait until i’ve knit the others and block them all at once;
other ecologically sound projects on the to do list are both Abby’s reuseable hemp/cotton wipesand Natalie’s lavender skin toner. love those gals!
I love the nubby texture of seed stitch. Would love to see your wipes when you make them too! xo

Thank you for reminding me how wonderful these cloths are. I haven’t made any since before my children were born, though now I need them more than ever (isn’t everything just a little bit dirtier?) I also never used the seed stitch before. I like the idea of adding texture to up the utility factor. Thank you again.
