Finally

A few days before the thumb incident, I was putting it to good use. Just look at it using those scissors....sigh. 

 I was never so happy to see the back end of a project. These blue and yellow dishtowels almost did me in.

 Now that they are history, I like them. I really like them.

 They were a bit beyond my skill level but I went the distance and I'm glad. They could have gone in the trash several times but I stuck it out and learned a lot from the whole disaster of a project.

 I had already begin winding the holiday warp a few weeks ago but I ran out of the green cotton. Of course.

 While I was waiting for a yarn delivery, I warped a small sample of some cotton I found packed away from ages ago.

 I thought I had a single towel's worth warped but it's more like a napkin's worth. Oh, well....

I have plenty of this cotton and the pattern is pretty so one day I can start all over and make a set of towels to match my napkin-when I have a working thumb again. I never realized thumbs were so damned important.
