Dishcloths of 2011 CAL.........

[teakaycee]

Okay kids..........I'm carrying this CAL over from last year because like myself.. there are others that enjoy making dishcloths.. and sharing the pics and patterns.

A dishcloth is a fun...simple... quick project that 'gives' in so many ways.

I feel great when making one ..because I can finish it in no time. I feel good being able to give them away as gifts... and they put a smile on someones face when they receive one!

 

So..... all that said....... lets get to having some fun with dishcloths.

~ pop in whenever you can.... share a dishcloth or simply comment on someone elses.

~ share a link or pattern so we can all play

~ dont forget pictures of your beautiful work

~ most of all.......... have fun!

No pressure.... No demands... No deadlines... just come play in the cotton yarn

I love making them too.... I always try to keep a stock to give as quickie gifts.

 

I love the fish ! Excellent child's gift... Is the pattern on your blog?

[sopo]

That is a very cool one. I've made my mom a bright colored one and some scrubbies. My first attempt at a dishcloth. Tonight, I just made a second one for her as she liked it the first one. It was just a simple back and forth thing I put together. Tonight's is just a closed granny square. Thinking I might make a round one to match tomorrow. I'll have to go check out the patterns you listed. I opened the window and of course, clicked easy dishcloth. The link was broken. lol Guess I'll have to try a not so easy one.

I need new dishcloths. All of mine are looking raggedy and faded. I have lots of cotton yarn on hand too.

Cute fish dishcloth, Tam. My grandsons would love it!

[Wrennie]

I love making them too.... I always try to keep a stock to give as quickie gifts.

I keep a 'stock' of them too.

 

I'd love to see some new patterns!

Cute fish!

[segi1974]

is there a pattern for the fish? I received one for in a swap last year and I thought he was so cute.

[Shell Lee]

it looks like the original pattern can be found here: Fish Dishcloth

 

I've made something similar but using HDC instead of SC for my fish dishcloth. I'll see if I can find a picture to post.

[Shell Lee]

Here's a picture of my last fishcloth.

[minwifeof4boys]

Thanks bunches for the pattern.....My littlest nieces and nephews will love these!

Hi there Miss Tam and everyone else !

 

I may just jump on in here with you guys --I seem to have a very limited amount of time I an work with regular yarn,due to my asthma- it is not well controlled at all,so the yarn really sets it off.

Maybe if I join up in here, I will keep my interest up making dishcloths.

 

The fish one is very cute. And Tam,thanks for the second page of patterns ! wow, nice selection !

[JulieKay]

Hope it's ok to post another link to LOTS of dishcloths !

Thanks Julie.... I would think cotton might not be as bad on you as some yarns.... at least we'll hope not!

[JulieKay]

Thanks Lea

It has been very discouraging,to crochet for about 40 years now, and have to give it up .

I seem to have nervous hands-- cannot stand to watch tv without something going ,so this may be what I will need to do now !

[Gardener]

Maggie's Crochet site is doing a 365 dishcloth challenge and contest. I bookmarked this page yesterday and when I checked it just now to make sure it worked, another free dishcloth pattern has been added, so hopefully it will continue to update. As of today, there are 17 pattern links there.

[JulieKay]

Hey Cindy !

Thanks for the 365 dishcloth page .WOW,now that will be neat to see how they come up with so many different ones in a year .

Are you gonna try to do one of each ? That'd sure be a challenge,wouldn't it ?

 

 

 

Hi Tam

Thanks for the warm welcome. You can drop in to the house any old time -- dont worry if you cant make it there as often,it is perfectly fine. We are always glad to see you ,whenever you get the chance !

[Gardener]

Hi, Tam, yes, I'm going to join in and make some dishcloths. I need some new ones!

 

Julie, I don't need 365 dishcloths!!!

[minwifeof4boys]

we have a couple of women's shelters near by... I wonder if they could use some dish cloths?

[JulieKay]

Lea

I'm not sure about the type items the shelters need. We don't have any in our little hillbilly town .

 

I'd think there would be some type charity that would use them ..

[sopo]

Our shelter here in town say they need everything. I used to rescue cabbage patch dolls and clean them up, dress them and take them to the shelter. They say that a lot of times, the women and children leave an abusive situation with just the clothes on their backs and nothing else and many don't get to go back to get their stuff. I'm sure they would be appreciated. Dishcloths or personal washcloths either.

[JulieKay]

Stephanie

Then it sounds like it'd be a worthwhile thing to do for those that want to make a bunch of dishcloths and want to donate them .

I just wasnt familiar with places like that. We live in sich a little town, we dont have homeless shelters or any other types of places like that ,so I didnt know much about them .

[teakaycee]

Oh Stephanie.............

a nice little cloth... soap...and maybe a couple other bath items would be great for kids and adults in this situation.

 

 

 

[minwifeof4boys]

I think I might make up some bags and take them over there. I had never thought about dish cloths/ wash cloths before now. So easy and fun to do too

[sopo]

Yes, it would be nice for them. That way, they could have a personal washcloth and even take it with them when they leave. And hopefully know that someone is thinking about them and cares. I would take the cabbies and they would let a child pick one out when they come in and take it with them when they left.
