A simple square

After all those fabulous temptations I am sure you are wondering what entrancing project I am working on now.  I'm not.

I haven't sewn anything together.  Otto is stacked nicely awaiting seaming.  Rogue is still in the same queue. 

In need of a quick, simple, mindless project that required no advance planning, I grabbed a skein of Mission Falls 1824 cotton that had been sitting around and took a quick look at Knitting for Baby by Melanie Falick and Kristen Nicholas.  I knew there was a simple washcloth project in there, and since 1824 cotton can go in the washer and dryer and softens up so nicely with time, I thought this might be an interesting project.

In a couple of days worth of stolen moments, the washcloth is done:

looking a little worse for having been scrunched, folded, and crammed in corners all weekend, but nice anyway.   Here is a detail of the edging:

It is not the most inspiring thing I have ever knit at a Bard Music Festival, but then Liszt has not proven to be the most inspiring subject either.  We'll call it a wash.

Which reminds me, what am I going to take to knit on tomorrow??

Never underestimate the power of the quick, simple knit. We need those now and again, particularly when time is minimal and seaming is waiting.
