Starfish Cloth from Sew Funky

 Easy Crochet Dishcloth by Sandy Marie


Dishcloths.  That's all I got for you today.  It's hot and humid and I Love to make dishcloths in the heat.  I use them faster than I can make them.  I prefer to crochet them.  The three patterns above are free on Ravelry. 

 They are small enough for me to stay interested in a pattern  start to finish!   Do you Dishcloth?

These look really pretty. What yarn do you use?

Absolutely! I have a lot of cotton left over from making those dog toys.

Oh yeah! Starfish is a fun one for sure. Almost Lost is similar. I like making that one too. And, of course, Grandmother's Favorite is a go-to when I don't want to think too much.

No, but I'm thinking of using some of the patterns to make an afghan.

I do "dishcloth". They are my favorite things to knit when I need something that is mindless. The starfish one (although called something different that I can't think of right now) is not exactly mindless. Perfect items to knit at our meetups we have twice a week, where there is more talking than knitting, and hard to keep count!

OH YES! I love them. They are great to work on when you need something that works up fast and travels well. Oh...and that you don't have to think about.

I go through phases. I did knit a few for my sister for last Xmas. But haven't done any since then. But I do enjoy doing it - just something to relax with. Right now, to do just that, I'm knitting a scarf - in all garter stitch! What a nice break from the other patterns I'm doing....

Oh man, I thought I had tamed my dishcloth monster and now you went and woke him up. I love them all and I'm pretty sure I'll be heading over to Ravelry to get those patterns.

I love them and that is more than I have got. The star design is brilliant.

It is HOT & HUMID out.
I have made a number of pot holders for my mother --they are the only ones she likes. She refuses to use any others--not because they are made by her daughter but because she says they are the best ones she has--WHO knows.

Yes, I do knit dishcloths but haven't for quite a while.

I just got home from HOT and humid Nebraska. It feels a lot cooler here near the mountains.

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
