making



Yep, this is what I am up to....crocheting 100% cotton washcloths or dishrags, which ever you prefer. 

I let daughter #2 pick the color of yarn, which I think is so much fun because it is variegated!

Obviously, this is not perfect and it is my first try, but I am loving the imperfections : )

I think I am getting better at this.....??? (to the right). I wanted to make something that would be useful and practical for gifts.
Have a great day!

    I love hand made washcloths to give and receive. They hold up so well. You are doing a great job and the yarn is yummy!

    Jeannie,

    I want my gifts to be useful and I thought this would be a fun way for me to practice my crochet.

    Thank you for your words of encouragement!

    Hi Hoola Tallulah,

    There is something so meditative and relaxing about crochet.
    I just found a you tube video and followed that! I love free "how to" videos!
    Variegated thread is my favorite.

    Marie, this is a great idea for a gift -- I love the colors, is that sugar & cream yarn?

    Hi Woman with wings,

    I really wanted to give something useful and I saw a picture of dish rags and I thought I could easily make those...mine are not as pretty as the ones in the picture, but that is ok lol! :)
    Yes, that is the sugar and cream yarn.

    Hi BJ,

    I agree. Jude at Sprit Cloth has helped me to see the beauty in ragged edges and imperfect edges. Love it!
