69 cloths.
23 ducks.
10 bars of glycerin soap.
59 mini bottles of body wash.
What does that get you?
Hopefully some really clean friends and family.
Patterns include The Double Bump (the best size filler ever!), Starfish Cloth, Grandma’s Favorite, Baby Genius Burp Cloth, Chinese Waves, Ballband, Garterlac, 4 corners, Mighty Mitar, The Squidge, Seed Stitch, Double Moss Stitch, Moss Rib and whatever the heck else I could find that I could do while watching tv. Used any kind of cotton yarn I could get my hands on that soaked stuff up.
Had a lot of fun matching these up in sets of 3 and putting them together with these little rubber duckies. Even dog and cat duckies! Got a great deal at the outlet mall on Bath and Body Works soaps last summer. Put these in those Holiday Chinese food boxes as wrapping. Ok - so cute I almost pewked.
Let’s hope I still have friends after they see the knitted stuff I am making them use again.
Even had some sweet Mini cards made (thanks for the idea O!) that have pix of knitting stuff and on the back they say:
“hand knitted for you on missy’s sticks. seriously, this took a long time … use it.”
I’m even bossy while gift giving.
I found you via your super cute Double Bump Scarf pattern on Ravelry and had to bow down to/comment on your Christmas gifts. Wow - that's a lot of knitting! They look great and I hope your bossy cards work. :)

I'm going to have to get busy and make this gift set for the teachers and aides at my daughter's school. She is my last child & my family has been at the school for over a decade.
thanks for the ideas!

I just found this through ravelry. I thought I was the only one addicted to knitting wash cloths, but yours are even cuter! What a great gift idea. I still can't get over the cuteness factor :D

I LOVE the double bump dish/washcloth. As a new knitter I'm not very good at purling, but this cloth is helping me "get over it" and worth the effort because of the awesome two-sided pattern and textures. THANKS! Knitgiver from Ravelry
