Crocheting with cotton yarn is the way to go during the hot summer months. And of course making something small that won't heat up your lap is necessary! I've been spending my crochet time in the evenings working on cotton dish/wash cloths. They are colorful and quick and the perfect summer project! Take a look at this set that I finished recently...
Don't these colors just scream SUMMER to you?
They remind me of sea glass and ocean water, with a little corn on the cob thrown in there for flavor!
This bundle of 10 inch crocheted dish/wash cloths is available, along with a few other colorful bundles, over in my Etsy shop.
I made my annual trip to Keepsake Quilting this week. In fact, I made two trips! For the first visit on Monday I was accompanied by my 6 year old Grace who prefers little scraps of fabric from my sewing room over thousands of bolts of fabric in a store! So I went back again this morning by myself and did some real shopping! I know I said I wasn't going to buy anything, but you know how it is...the temptation! But you should be proud of me. Everything I purchased was from their 'outlet' shop which is where they put all their clearance fabrics, kits and patterns. I'll take some pictures of the goodies I found and share them with you soon!
Happy Stitching!

Your washcloths make me want to get out my yarn and make some more myself. Beautiful colors.

Yummy! My eyes go right to that green but they're all so pretty. Rumi keeps me in dishcloths and they are my favorite.

Hey Mary Grace...I am loving the woven stitch right now....thanks for yet another great video...they are so helpful...like I have my own private teacher online! Thanks so much! Your washcloths are so pretty! It's nice to have them made for little gifts...I have a friend, who I knit with, that makes the most wonderful soap...I'll try and post a link to her blog. I believe it's called For The Love Of Fiber.
