This weekend my oldest son and my only husband shot the state indoor archery competition.  Because they were shooting, my youngest son and I spent several hours on both Saturday and Sunday at a large indoor arena watching them shoot the state indoor archery competition!  We didn't come home with any medals this year, but I came home with these:

Meet the Dorothea Dishtowel.  This is a pattern I tried recently from the lionbrand website.  I have made several patterns from lionbrand, but these are one of my favorites.  This is the second time I've made a batch of these.  My husband absolutely loves them.

They are made from the same cotton worsted-weight yarn that you would use to make dish cloths.  Actually, the pattern would make a great dishcloth if you made it smaller.

But as dish towels, or tea towels, they can't be beat.  They are very absorbent for spills and drying dishes.  They are very thick for pot holders and trivets.  And they are beautiful!  We are definitely hooked...pun intended.

I may never buy regular dish towels again!
