To refresh, I had purchase several cones of Pisgah Peaches and Creme with the intention of making several Green Living Totes. After the first two, I had enough. They were easy and boring.
Every year my Knitting Guild has charity projects. This year we were planning to knit scarves for the Special Olympics, but unfortunately that organization reported a month ago that they could no longer use the scarves...they had received too many! Our other project is making cloths and soap sacks for a local women's shelter. I have added to the two previously completed, and at long last have used up most of the yarn. I will be contributing these:
The pattern for the Soap Sack finally made its way from my brain to my hands. I used Judy's Magic Cast on (26 stitches,), knit 2 rows, then increased 4 stitches on the next round. After knitting one more row, I began the pattern and repeated it 5 times. At the top, I knit 2 rows, then knit YO K2tog across the next round, knit 2 more rounds, and cast off. The tie is a crochet chain of 75 or so stitches.
I even had enough yarn (when I added a found cream color...now I have to use up that ball!) to stretch into one more set:
This is what is left. My amazing matching project bag is a Julie Bag, made by one of our guild members.
Sometimes I love emptiness!

The end! Loved seeing these come off the needles during our visit! Maybe your cloths inspired my casting on several in the past month or so...
