Vav Magasinet's towel competition

my hanging towel
Vav Magasinet, the English version of a Swedish weaving magazine I subscribe to, sponsored a towel competition.  I wove two cotton chenille towels and seriously considered sending them to Stockholm.  My towels in a Swedish towel competition is rather like Ghana entering the Winter Olympics.  The design might be original; at least I haven't seen towels like what I make.  My towels have a rosepath design and a knitted loop for hanging.  The knitted loop is on small needles and took far more time to knit than I anticipated.

But I'm kinda sorry that I didn't make at least one of the towels a higher priority.  The teaser picture in Vav's most recent issue are very lovely and very traditional Swedish towels.  My hanging towels might have shook them up a bit!
