Color and Weave Tea Towels

My first project ever.  I learned how to twine colors (thus the loops you see on some.  So happy they came out so well in the wash.  I was happily shocked.  It is also surprsing how much the pattern bloomed.  I read here not to beat so hard ( my beater is super heavy so I just let it fall really).  After washing, my first towel, I had some squashed squares.  Once I relaxed and "believed" they would finish well in the wash, I moved along more quickly.  It was hard to envision those fat loose squares would ever look like they were suppose to, but I am happy with my first try.
