I have known how to crochet for years ( I can do the stitches and read a pattern--but past that--welllll) , but it's just never been my thing. I got bored with it too fast until my friend Kathy showed me how to make my favorite crocheted potholders. I've only used crocheted potholders for years, but I have a hard time finding them--good thing they last so darned long.
See the white blob in the corner--that is my potholder--really that's what it is. See the green "shape" next to it. Well that's a dishcloth--yes really! I was practicing my decreasing and got that down pretty good. LOL! Ok, I have no idea what I did, but I screwed it up pretty good and yes I will remake a new one, so I can get it right, but I will also use this one. After all it is just a dishcloth.
Anyway I have discovered that crocheting is a good way to unwind and if I stick to potholders and dishcloths I don't get bored, so I now have a nice little supply of Sugar and Cream cotton yarn and lots of freebie patterns from the internet and I can stitch til my hearts content. My next venture is going to be some crocheted lace. We'll see!
Hey maybe we could do a crocheted dishcloth swap. I'll hone my skills first so you don't get a goofy looking one, so in the meantime.....Happy Stitching!
