This traditional basket weave pattern creates a cozy looking oven door towel. You can find the matching dishcloth here.
My family and friends love these oven door towels. With the wide variety of colour options you can make them to match any kitchen decor. The absorbent cotton is very durable. My oven door towels last several years.

I wrote a book!
Although unrelated to knitting, I want to tell you about my book Meal Planning Made Easy, a simplified approach to meal planning that will save you time, money and stress around mealtime.
Here’s what people are saying about Meal Planning Made Easy:
“This book is a must for anyone starting out. It is filled with useful tips and delicious recipes. It would make a great bridal shower gift or housewarming gift.” ~ Chris A Arnason, Amazon review
“This is my new “go to” for meals for my busy family. I love how accessible it is. Every day ingredients and I don’t have to go out and restock my kitchen. And the little notes at the bottom of the weekly menus are so helpful.” ~CrazyCatLady, Amazon review
