Thanks, all. I had a fun time making them and the stitches were easy to do.

Jeannie, those are really beautiful. Too pretty to clean up messes!!!

Here is my Tuesday dishcloth. Nothing fancy, just utilitarian!

 

No pattern, it is just s/c alternating in front and back loops. I like a thinner, fairly solid dishcloth for wiping counters, table, cleaning the stove, etc. I feel like a thinner cloth gets into all the nooks and crannies better. The color is sage green, and I used less than a ball of sugar and cream. It is about 9 1/2 inches square. I am thinking about adding a sc border in a co-ordinating variegated, since I have a small amount leftover from another project, but so far I haven't done that.

I am still working on last week Tuesday dishcloth and I only have three more rows to go. This is the pattern I am using and I find myself loving the texture of this dishcloth. When I have a few dishcloths made I will post a picture. This cloth look excellent in a varigrated cotton yarn. Here is the pattern I am using:

This is one of my favorite dishcloth patterns. I think the stitch pattern is perfect for a dishcloth. I started making this pattern with the green yarn I used for this weeks dishcloth, but I didn't have enough to finish so I frogged it and made a different one instead.

I made the Tulip dish cloth and it is so pretty but not going to use it. I hate weaving in all those ends.

I need to get some more done. I gave all I had done away for Valentines. They, of course, were red and white. I have some yellow cotton yarn laid out to make some for Easter BUT I am in the embroidering baby quilts and then quilting them mode. I have finished one, have a second one over have embroidered, will have it ready to quilt by the first of the week but have a third quilt to do. No rest for the weary at the moment but life is sure interesting when we are very busy!!!

Margret, that is a lovely dishcloth.

[Margret]

Thank you ladies. It was a free pattern and I think it is too pretty to use.

[anniebelle68]

I'm in-I have a silly question, though. The pattern I'm going to start with takes crochet cotton. That's not the #10 thread, is it?

[Margret]

Cotton is a worsted weight like the reg. yarns. Peaches n cream and Sugar and cream are the two main ones. There are others also but those are what I use.

Altho #10 thread does come in cotton too. I have made a couple of decorative potholders from them but not as nice and thick as the worsted weight.

Jeannie I tried that cloth and mine turned out horrible, I have no idea how I messed it up but it is obling-lol!

Love your cloths. I am just working on my second one. When I have a few done I will post a pic. I love how crocheting DC are great bring along anywhere project. LOL

[Gardener]

ropergirl3, your dishcloths are great.

I started a dishcloth this morning, but I decided to do some sewing today, instead of finishing it.

[Margret]

I have a question. I have such a problem with some of the cotton fading so bad. Any secrets on how to get them not to fade? I do not use bleach or anything like that with them. I have soaked them both in vinegar or salt water first but some still fade. I am talking basically about the dishclothes.

[Gardener]

Margret, I've noticed that too. I'd be interested in knowing if there is any way to prevent fading also.

[heart]

I'd like to join in too. I'm a little late, but I can keep up!
