Victorian Facecloths
Another gift for mom's birthday is some victorian style facecloths that I thought I would display with some nice soaps. The pattern book is "The Heirloom Knitter Presents Heavenly Cotton Facecloths" by Barbara Scoville done with a fingering weight yarn ( Catania) and calls for size 6 needles. Wouldn't you know I could only find a pair of size 5's. But it seems to be working out well. The first one I am making is called Leaf and Vine and is fairly easy. The only part I may not like is the lace edging is done seperately and then attatched. Margie had one on display at Elaine's Yarns and it is gorgeous!!!

What a beautiful facecloth! I am a little surprised at the attached edging, I look forward to seeing how elegant it looks. Your mom is going to have the best birthday!
I love the facecloths! How victorian they are. I need to get that book.
Your moms scarf is also wonderful looking. I bet you cant wait to give it to her.
