OMG…..look what Phyllis, my mail lady, brought today. Dishy, by Knit Picks and the latest Crochet magazine. Yes, I also crochet.
This cotton is for dishcloths. I remember knitting them when I was a kid, trying to practice knitting. The Yarnhoarder ( she is DELIGHTFUL….she is such a cutie and so funny……

They make wonderful gifts, along with a lovely, scented soap….usually three at a time. Great stocking stuffer, or gift for a co-worker. Again, free dishcloth recipes on Ravelry…..one of my favorites is “Grandmother’s Favorite Dish Cloth”.
And why is crochet treated like a red-headed step-child, when in fact, they are fraternal twins…….I have seen some fantastically talented crochet designers. I see knitters look down at crochet, when most knitters also crochet. It’s all about the yarney goodness, Folks, regardless of the mode of transportation. You would think knit/crochet was a Pepsi/Coke challenge. Maybe you think crochet is just granny squares (and it would be lovely if it was). You need to check out the following podcasts:
