I like it! Especially the color scheme.

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

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.

Cool! The colors and shape remind me of corn.
:inlove:
Now, I’ll have to have corn on the cob for dinner. :teehee:

[COLOR="#223399"]Pattern: [B][U]Textured Stripes Dishcloth[/U][/B] by Kiel Lemon at http://cocoacream.wordpress.com/

Yarn: Lily Sugar 'n Cream
Hook: Size H/8, 5.00 mm


I didn’t do the number of repeats the pattern had. I also thought it was a bit small, so I added a larger border all around to increase the size.

Love it! :inlove:

I love your dish cloth! You are indeed a master! Now I think I will keep my corn and maybe try a new one!

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!

:notworthy: Whoa! You GO girl! :shock:
I think you deserve a break now. :hug:

I also said that after having finished my 144th granny square for the afghan…

:thud:

And until now I have only crocheted 2 more granny squares or so…

It can be traumatizing.

:teehee: Yeah, all the repetition definitely makes for tedious work!

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

Such happy, bright, cheery colors! :inlove:

For some unknown reason when those brightly colored images flashed up on my screen I suddenly thought…

[INDENT]Summer: Crocheted _ _ _ _ _ _ ? :oo:

Oh, yeah, that’s right. This is the dishcloth CAL [/INDENT]

They appear very bright and cheerful, even sunny. Definitely a good thing for approaching winter.

: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
