cloth napkins

cloth napkinsI decided to sew cloth napkins because they're economical, environmentally friendly and most importantly, classy. They're simply two 16" squares sewn together, since the prints are only on one side of the fabric and I didn't want napkins with a "wrong" side. Instead of using the same fabric for the whole set, I chose a variety of black & white patterns. This way I can easily add more napkins to the collection in the future. The egg beaters are my favorite.

felicity hat

felicity hatI love the slouchiness of the felicity hat by Wanett Clyde. The pattern can be found on her website knitology or on ravelry.

The only thing I did differently was to use size 7 needles throughout as opposed to starting off on smaller needles.
