Crochet Strawberry Wash Cloth

100 % Cotton 

This strawberry cloth can be used for many things not just a dishcloth as it was originally designed, it could also be a bath wash cloth too. I love these for sitting my larger coffee mugs on, as to not leave a large ring on the furniture. I also toss these on tables and counters just to have a soft surface to sit pans and things on. Even though I have a granite counter top, it makes me feel better about sitting hot pans onto it. I think as a set in a place setting it would be cute as a table setting for the dessert individual serving dish.

Crochet Thread Doily Finished

My first doily using thread is complete! A friend requested two doilies a year ago and I have finally finished the smaller of the two! It feels good to have this project complete and for it to have turned out so beautifully! 

I used a free pattern that you will find here:

Crochet Curling

So I made it to round 13 or so and it started to curl up on me around the edges. The pattern was for a 5 inch circle and I hadn't thought about maybe needing to add some extra stitches in to keep it flat until now. Eek! I have to rip it back out a few rows until just before it started curling, after my two shell stitches I chain two right now and I am going to change that to chaining 3 between my shell stitches. Crossing fingers this works out! I hope to get to at least a 20 inch round doily, wish me luck!

Crochet Doily Begins

Today I have been attempting a doily for the second time. The first one I 

fastened off and decided on calling it a doily for myself I messed up 

somewhere on it. I was given an order a year ago for two doilies. It has 

taken me this long to scratch my original pattern idea and try one 

easier. Besides that missed stitch at beginning of last round I was doing 

pretty good. Time to rip that last round out and do it over. Onward 

March!
