Kudos to you! I thoroughly enjoy reading them and am glad I happened upon your blog when doing a search on crocheting.<BR/>In all honesty, I have never used a handmade cotton dish or wash cloth! Can you believe it? So unfortunately, I am unable to give an opinion of them at this time. However, I'd love to try them and see how they work. Maybe I'll get lucky and win a couple! ;o) I am not picky about color schemes when it comes to dishcloths and hot pads, so should I win, just surprise me with colors of your choice. :o)<BR/>~Gina<BR/>http://luv2crochetafghans.blogspot.com/<BR/>luv2crochet_afghans@yahoo.comGina's Custom Creationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00113845263969166266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5451108506765377069.post-57930591551838320782009-04-04T01:54:00.000-04:002009-04-04T01:54:00.000-04:00I love reading your blog and once I get some thing...I love reading your blog and once I get some things off my knitting needles, I plan on learning to crochet too (I've always wanted to make a granny square blanket).<BR/>Never used knitted or crochet dishclothes, but I hate how thin store-brought ones are so homemade ones should be a welcome change.<BR/>My favourite colors are purple, yellow, white and black but I love surprises with colors ;)<BR/><BR/>Raerean(at)gmail(dot)comRaereanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09461602529419062625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5451108506765377069.post-87225246993520157782009-04-03T13:01:00.000-04:002009-04-03T13:01:00.000-04:00Wow, didn't we have a great swap?

I've decided that what our sad world needs is everyone to blog and send gifts, that would cure a lot of ills! Thanks for participating in the swap. Thanks for the offer of your dishcloths...I know how wonderful they are. :) SheriSheri Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08839685166159856348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5451108506765377069.post-48681831653741387702009-04-02T23:11:00.000-04:002009-04-02T23:11:00.000-04:00Oh, Mary grace, you know I really don't know much ...Oh, Mary grace, you know I really don't know much at all about home-made dishcloths - one way or the other, I will try one!

Sometimes it just makes you feel happy and special knowing that something fun is on its way just for you.<BR/> I don't think I've ever used a handmade dish cloth and I am very curious if they are better or not. One thing about store ones is that no matter how often you wash them they tend to get smelly pretty fast. It would be great if there was a magic ingredient in the homemade ones that kept them from doing that! <BR/>Congrats on your 300th post!<BR/>Megan <BR/>he4rken@yahoo.com<BR/>bakedasia.blogspot.comMegJillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04078178242033905135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5451108506765377069.post-54014082746476690282009-04-02T21:53:00.000-04:002009-04-02T21:53:00.000-04:00Many years ago I crocheted some dishcloths and gav...Many years ago I crocheted some dishcloths and gave them as gifts. They were so fun to make and everyone loved them. They were my favorite dishcloths. I like all colors...yellow is my favorite and my kitchen is country greens and reds. Any color or combination would make me happy.

I have bought myself some dishcloths at craft shows, but I'd love to have some of yours. I guess the colors that would go best with my kitchen are any of these: pale orange, any shade of green, yellow/gold, or brown/tan. Actually, I'd use ANY color, though, if I'm lucky enough to win!

It was the best dishcloth I ever had, way better than any manufactured cloth. I have been working on one for a learning to knit project. It seems like its taking me forever. Of course I started a more pressing crochet project in the middle of it. I like the denims color, that's what I'm using for for the one I am working on. I hope to try the tunisian one when I get a chance. My choice of color would be any type of blue.

They seem too pretty to put to such a use, but I guess I would try it out of curiosity. And I love the hotpads you have been making too. If I were to win, I think I would choose a burgundy colour scheme.
