Shopping list for August project

I’m really excited about the Lace-edged towel for August.

It’s a project to turn an ordinary towel into something extraordinary. Whether for yourself or a gift for someone else, your Spiral Diamonds Lace-edged Towel will have a special place in the heart and home.

Hope you will be knitting along with us.

Thed pattern for this Lace-edged Towel will be available in the Free Membership area August 1, 2012 through August 31, 2012. I wanted to give you a heads-up now about the  materials you will need so you can be ready to start the project as soon as possible after the pattern goes live.

• 16″ wide towel (pattern can be adjusted for other widths, so feel free to go narrower or wider)
• Size 10 crochet cotton (I used J&P Coats Knit Cro-sheen; 1 ball was more than enough and could probably do a huge bath-sized towel rather than the smaller towel I did)
• Size 2.5 US (3 mm) knitting needles (choose US 2 if you knit loosely, or US 3 if you knit tightly and you should be ok)
• For attaching the lace edging to the towel, eventually you’ll need sewing needle and sewing thread that matches your towel color, but you can hold off on that until later since you will be knitting the lace edging first

Please be sure to tell your knitting friends about this. I appreciate you spreading the word to bring the art and skill of knitting lace to as many people as possible!
