"Every night, just when the dark was softest and sleep was deepest, there came a loud noise from the end of the great room. It came from the place where the loom and spindle stood, where by day the grandmother spun and the mother wove."

 from "The Spindle Imp" by Alida Sims Malkus

and Cotton Dishcloths

Some pretty cotton dishcloths. "Moss" stitch border; "fern" stitch centre; 4ply cotton (blue and cream cloths), and combinations of leftover candle wicking cotton. The candle wicking cotton is about a 2ply so I knitted two strands together. This enabled me to make cloths in co-ordinating colours. I really enjoyed knitting these; easy; mindless; rhythmic. Am considering doing matching ones with a "feather and fan" stitch middle. Well you can never have too many cotton dishcloths.

And my favourite teapot and cup!
