Very colorful! I started my dish cloth and at the moment it is more like a scrubber. I have used bpdc, ss, sc hdc and rounded the corners but I am not sure if I will make it bigger or keep it as a scrubber. That is the question? I will take suggestions.
Ok, I finally finished all 21 dishcloths and I gotta say, man, I could seriously go the rest of my life without crocheting (or knitting) another dishcloth! I’ll have pics soon!
Ok, the pics! Please forgive the lighting, it was terrible…All of our lights are very dim and it was night time when I took the pics…Had to use the flash and it just killed the color! You get the idea though…lol…Just simple sc cloths…Oh yeah, and the yellow yarns are different…lol…I started with an acrylic yellow yarn then ran out but Michael’s didn’t have that yarn so I went with a cotton, muted yellow…But, the sets are all going to different people so no big deal…lol
:teehee: I crocheted a couple sets just like those for my Mom and Grandma for Mother’s Day, which of course, is approaching summer so they were perfect for then, however, my grandma wanted me to make 7 more sets so she could give them to her friends…for Christmas…lol
