DISHCLOTH TACOS! |
One of my very best friends just moved into a new place, in a new city, in a new province even! Her and her hubby packed up a UHaul full of everything they owned in Toronto, ON, and drove it straight across the country (with a brief stop-over in Manitoba to visit family) to Edmonton, AB. For two people who haven't driven much in the last 5 years, this was apparently a bit of a nerve-wracking trip, especially in parts of Northern Ontario, which is known for it's narrow highways and terrifyingly windy, hilly roads walled in with rock on either side.
I certainly didn't envy them the trip.

Love the textures on these easy to make dishcloths. Great for scrubbing dirty dishes! |
I am excited for their new start in a new city though! Apparently they found a nice house to rent with a yard and everything! And since everyone loves to receive things in the mail, I thought I'd send them a welcome home gift. Have you guessed yet what that was? :D

They kind of turned out a bit...skewed... |
Yep, I made them a set of dishcloths, like what
my Grandma sent me for Christmas! I have scads of this dishcloth cotton lying around, and it was about time that I started to use it. For those interested, it's the
Grandmother's Favourite pattern (Ravelry link). Of course, mine didn't turn out nearly as uniform as my Grandma's, but I guess perfection is the result of over 70 years of knitting, and I can't touch that yet with my measly 1.5 years.
Still, pretty little dishcloths. Pair them with a gift card to Canadian Tire and a babbly letter, and I think that makes for a nice Housewarming gift, don't you agree?
I think you're a very thoughtful friend and I'm sure your friends will think of you often while using your pretty dishcloths.
