Housewarming gift

My sister and her husband moved into their first house this past weekend. I'm working on a housewarming gift for them, though at the rate I'm moving it'll be more like a Christmas gift. The first part of the gift is a dish scrubby. I saw the idea on the Berlin's Whimsey blog. My sister had leftover netting from her wedding so I cut that into strips and tied it together. It's knit together with Lily Sugar 'N Cream in Summer Splash on size 8 needles.


The second part I'm working on is the circle cloth by hakucho to match the dish scrubby. I'm using the same yarn and needles as the scrubby. I think it would look a lot better if I would have used white as a contrasting color, but I didn't feel like messing around with two colors. It still looks pretty neat. The finished product looks much more complicated than the pattern actually is.
