Venture into Yarn Land

You know that I LOVE THREAD CROCHET, right?  

(As my oldest son would say,  

"Thank you, Captain Obvious.")

But...every once in awhile there is a project which compels me to venture into 

Yarn Land.

And in one of my many visits to Bella Crochet, I happened across a free pattern that Ann offers.

A VERY cute Sunflower Dish Cloth made with cotton yarn.

It is SO bright and cheery that I really wanted to try it.

And it has turned out so cute!

SEE:

The pattern called for a size I hook.  Which turned out nice, but sort of large for my little hands.

So then I tried it with size H, and then settled on G.

I like the results!!!

Besides being so cute,
the pattern is quite easy
and is a quick
gratification
project.

You can make one easily while
sitting in your doctor's waiting room.
(I started one and got all but two small sections
of the yellow finished when I was waiting on 
my chiropractor last Friday.)




Happy Crocheting!!!

Dishcloth #3

I frogged the dishcloth that was partially

done in the last dishcloth post and

started over.  It was just too big and

my ball of yarn wasn't going to be 

enough to finish it.  I'm not going to 

put more than one ball of yarn

into a dishcloth, so...

I rethought the width.

I changed it from the pattern's 50

to 34 and away I went.

This time it came out square AND

it used less than 1 ball and it

is still plenty big enough to 

wash dishes with:
