There's something so beautiful about a soft, well-used vintage dishtowel.  I often find myself marveling at all of their wonderful neutral shades.  Some are a warm cream, others have honey tones and some stone grey.  I especially love their red details and stripes which range from bright tomato red to rich red wine.  My vintage towels were the inspiration for these Soft Cotton Knit Dishtowels which make drying the dishes feel like a luxurious treat.  Lucky for us, Blue Sky Alpacas makes Organic and Dyed Cottons in all of these beautiful neutrals and reds.

This is one of the simplest and most satisfying knitting projects you'll pick up this fall.  I loved how easy and fun it was to experiment with different striped patterns just by switching from one color to the next.
