These hand warmers were made by Pangsee. She had a few minor difficulties with the shaping, so we made them into haute couture hand warmers with some ruffles and shaping. Every project she knits, her knitting continues to improve!

These washcloths were donated to the Denver's Road Home Welcome baskets by Elizabeth. It's fun to see on these simple washcloths, how even her stitches are getting, and how much her knitting is progressing!!

This washcloth was a cable attempt by Gloria. While this one did not turn out perfectly, like her last one, she learned a lot! I show this washcloth because it is as important to learn as it is to knit perfectly. And she accidently did a really difficult cable twist, so next time she will be able to do it on purpose,

These washcloths were donated by Bernadette. She was practicing with the stripes. Her washcloths combine both knitting and crochet. Great job Bernadette!!

These two washcloths with the lace borders were made by Kathy. She has been knitting up lots of washcloths for the TGP washcloth project. In the process, her knitting has improved so much, that she is now a community volunteer for the knitting class!!

This mitered square washcloth was made by Melinda. She has been using the washcloth project to make washcloths using different stitches and patterns. There were a few trials on this and she learned a lot! Thank you for donating this, Melinda!

This washcloth was made by Darlene. There is a bit of a story behind it. She has sewn the corners together - I mistakenly flattened it for the photo. When she saw it, she told me that it was done on purpose. She likes her washcloths to fit over her hand for washing her face. I have corrected my mistake - but the photo is still flat. Thank you Darlene, for making for someone else, something that you would like and use!!
