Feather and Fan Baby Washcloth Set Finally Posted :o)

.

Well, I'm finally getting a chance to post some pics of the feather and fan cloths I did up about a month and a half ago...it's taken me this long to take the pics of them. What motivated me to do it, was reading Mary Anne's Blog last week where she posted pics of some of the feather and fans she did using two different colours! So, here they are!

I have come to the conclusion that I'm not all that fond of the self-striping cotton anymore. It's lovely when it works with the pattern you are doing, but I get so darn frustrated when the colour changes at inappropriate times like in the middle of the row or on the wrong row. So when I wanted to knit up some feather and fan cloths in a striping pattern, I decided to do some manual striping instead of using the self-striping cotton...and I was so impressed with the way they all turned out...even though there were more than a few ends to tie in. Just look at how gorgeous these guys turned out!! Too bad I don't have any babies around me...I just love all the pastel colours though! So soft and pretty!

If you like this version of the Feather and Fan cloth, you can find the modifications for it on my dear friend, Mary Anne's blog, located on her sidebar. Mary Anne is absolutely crazy for this pattern...she must have hundreds and hundreds of them knit up by now! She's so awesome!
