washcloth and waves
proof i have been knitting (photo taken with camera phone at the beach last night). better pics coming soon.
and thanks for all the compliments on my condo pic :) and i am so glad that someone got the same story about the tip line on the starbucks charge receipt. if it is true, then the tiny percent that visa or whatever charges the client (starbucks) for the transaction is what they are trying to save on. you know that extra buck for a tip really adds to the bottom line apparently. yet, funny how even the smallest restaurants have a tip line? how did starbucks brainwash their baristas to think that it is ok? because they are the ones who in turn get NO TIP. maybe starbucks pays more an hour or something to make up for it? whatever. i just think it is SO ODD and honestly, as the consumer, i feel very bad not leaving some sort of tip, so if i don't have cash i don't go. so in turn they lose my business altogether. ok, seriously. that is enough of that. this is a knitting blog, but sometimes you just get that bee in the bonnet you know?

We most be REALLY sweet because I get a bee in my bonnet pretty often as well! ;0}
BTW, Nordstrom Cafe and Bistro now have no tip line either! The last time I was racing around trying to figure out where I could get change to give the waitress. Make it easier for the corporations and harder for the clients and hard working emloyees.

The UK is getting ready for the trip, fish and chips at the seaside anyone?
What a cute washcloth!
I agree that there should be a tip line. I have the same problem at my hairdresser and my nail salon.
Oooh la la!!

I am using up my last dishcloth at a frighteningly fast pace...must knit more dishclothes! I love the colors you are using.
I try not to shop at Starbucks anyway. They keep putting all my favorite independent coffee shops out of business. They're like the Wal Mart of the coffee world... Anyway, I completely understand about the tip thing!
