I finished a dishcloth for today. It is a simple granny square in varigated blue cotton thread.

Okay! Here's mine for this week. (I've got to figure out how to photograph so that the image isn't "keystoned.") It looks quite rough since I am not used to crocheting in rows. I stopped long ago, since I realized that I absolutely hated crocheting into a chain. This is a first in years...decades. Anyway, I used the un-named stitch described by LegalWoman17/Debbie in post #45 on page 5. It started with a row of sc, so I took the opportunity to try out foundation single crochet for the first time. I love it! I may never do a chain again, though it will take more practice to get it looking even and nice. I have twisted the photo to show the fsc on the bottom. The square was bordered with sc.

 

 

A further note on the stitch. Using foundation stitches you've got to subtract the number of chains that create the first stitch, so the pattern for this one was an odd number, (25 - my sister likes small dish cloths).

 

Next week: April's Purple Passion Heart Square from Dishcloth Diaries. I'll try to use up more of this orange (not my favorite color).

Marzee - I think it looks good. Thanks for sharing!

All the dishcloths are wonderful.

Very pretty. TFS!

I've got some to post...I'll try to get them up tomorrow.

okay, so it took a couple of days to get pics taken, but here is everything I've done to get ready for a possible craft show. I used up the last of some I Love This Cotton. This is actually a granny square - Diamond Center pattern

Fireblossom Cloth

[~Elise~]

Just a LARGE double crochet cloth because some people like larger cloths. I do like the pooling on this.

[~Elise~]

scrubby I made from a smaller face cloth pattern...one side was yarn and the other was Omega nylon.

[~Elise~]

round scrubby I made trying to use up the last of the thread.

[nicolep]

Love the dishclothes and the colors are wonderful. Good job!

[Gardener]

I also think the dishcloths and scrubbies are great. I really like the colors.

[~Elise~]

Thanks! The yarn is I Love This Cotton and the colorway is Carousel.

[Marzee]

Very pretty dishcloths and scrubbies, Elise! I particularly like the Fireblossom Cloth. And the carousel colorway is fabulous. It creates yarn lust in my heart

 

Here's my contribution for today:

 

 

It is made using April Morelands "April's Purple Passion Heart Square" pattern from Dishcloth Diaries. I changed the corners on the last round to 2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc to square them up more. Also, I made it in these colors to further use up some of that (free) orange that I don't particularly like and as a practice for a more conventional color grouping using Lion Cotton's orchid and (free) no-name white.

 

I don't know,...I find triple/treble crochet a difficult stitch. I wish Annie's Attic had provided an I hook when they had their on-a-roll promotion (bullion stitch). I would find that hook much easier to use for tr. Maybe I'll do it using an H hook next time, since I have the H bullion hook to pair with it, though I'll have to add anther row or two to achieve the 7" that my sister prefers.

Love the heart dishcloth! I'm not going to be able to crochet a dishcloth today.

 

I have to get to work on some bookmarks. It's a shame, too because I really need some new dishcloths at home! Maybe I can get one done.

[Gardener]

I also think the heart dishcloth looks fabulous.

I have finished half a dishcloth today, using my favorite pattern:

I'm just using plain sage green cotton from my stash.

I went to Michigan to help out my Dad after his surgery (looooong story). The only thing I brought to work on was dishcloths and a pair of socks. (Guess which one I worked on more? ) I made one more, out of a book I brought with me. But my camera ate all my pictures that I took. And I gave it away. My Aunt gave me a little scrubby that she bought at a craft show; it's crocheted with some kind of mesh. I wanted to make one from it, but don't know if I ever will figure it out.

I have a pattern I am making up it's very simple. Would dishcloths sell good at a art festival?

Those are beautiful. Of course all of your dishcloths are.

Tam that is really cool! I never thought to do that with a dishcloth.

 

Jempast, I think dishcloths sell well at art festivals. I guess it depends on what kind of festival it is, is it an Arts & Crafts show? Like 'Art in the Park' type thing? Or at a high school? Then they would probably sell well, I would think.
