Decent order! Those knit picks needles are so dang pretty (I have to keep talking myself out of getting them Pam...) I have all needles chiagoo, steel and wooden. But so dang funny, for anyone who does not know what those little needles are, they look like you put a pencil in a pencil sharpener and took the pencil all the way down! LOL! But they are so pretty.... NO, I do not NEED them.... ugh, the struggle is so real!!
I agree, the struggle is real. I want another set, but I'm trying to wait. I love these needles! I know what you mean. When I held up the tiny needle, I thought to myself, no one is going to know what this is, not even some knitters. lolololol...
It's been a while since I knit towels, but if I remember right I cast on 65 stitches with worsted weight cotton on size US 8 needles. Knit for about 20 inches. I like the basketweave pattern. Knit 5, purl 5 across, do this for about 8 or 10 rows, or whatever size you want the basketweave to look like. Then your next 8 or 10 rows do the same thing, but purl over the knit rows and knit over the purl rows. By alternating the groups of knit and purl stitches it looks like basketweave.

Am I correct in hearing that you knit towels? Or did I not hear that correctly? Can you share the pattern or where you got it?
