How can you NOT want to knit her things? Especially when she introduces you to these?

Oh BABY!

Terrier Pride Dishcloth

Before I run to the airport to drop off one daughter for a trip, I want to get these Terrier Pride Patterns posted. Then when I get home later tonight, I'll post my recipe box for Kay and Ann's contest. Boy, I tell you, only one recipe? I'm still trying to decide. That's like trying to pick out which UFO to work on next!



Now, do you have a favorite family or friend in the Boston area that you'd like to knit for? I do! And tonight I bring to you...the Terrier Pride Kitchen Towel Set. (Don't forget to add a Tribble!)
