A matched set


More boring knitting for you to see...a ballband towel to match all my appliance covers (toaster oven, Oster Kitchen Center and KitchenAid Mixer. I just couldn't help myself, I had to make a towel. I love having a color coordinated kitchen :) Now what else can I make? I've got some ideas....that will keep me busy until the torch is lit (ravelympics coming soon)!

The other day I had some kiwifruit that I wanted to use up so I tried making Kiwifruit Muffins. They were really good :)

Guess what I discovered yesterday? U.S. World News and Reports has a link to my blog.
Pretty cool, don't you think?

    Hope all is going well for you, and now to head outside and mow, do more weeding, run some errands, etc.

  13. You are a ball band machine! That is a fantastic towel. (I still need to knit a ballband. *hides*)

    I've heard chicken potholders are a good use of dishcloth cotton. And are quite addictive. But that's just what I've "heard". ;)

    Look how uber you are with the US World News blog linkage. How cool!
