Homemade Teacher Gifts

I decided for Caden's first teacher gifts ever to do something homemade (pretty much the only thing I know how to knit)...dishcloths. Caden has 4 teachers, and I had 3 designs in mind, so 12 dishcloths isn't that bad, right? Let's just say that I'm glad I started in the beginning of October because I just finished them up yesterday. I got the red ornament design from Designs by Emily (click on that name to link to her website). With her design, I was able to make my own patterns for the tree and snowflake. In true snowflake fashion, all 4 are different (I had trouble deciding on one I liked).



I found these cute little boxes on sale at A.C. Moore for $.70 each. The 3 dishcloths fit perfectly. Then with my mother-in-law's homemade name tag ornaments to complete the look (thanks Carole), we were finished. Each box cost me about $3 each...not bad!
