Double cotton dishcloths

A change of pace from cards.

I love my dishcloths made from cotton, knitted or crochet, it doesn't matter to me. 
Here are a couple I have settled on after many years of making them for my family every Christmas. 

I like the chunkier cotton, which I haven't had any and I'm using up what I have in my stash. I don't even know where this particular yarn came from. I've doubled the yarn, and used a 4.00mm hook to have a tight fabric. It will stretch and loosen to be more pliable when used in the sink. I throw mine in the wash after a cheesey dish or every 3 to 4 days. So it's great to have at least 3 to wash and dry. 
The pattern is very simple. 
Chain a row to at least 15cm, in this case 26 chain, it doesn't matter really,  but seems to make a nice size square. 
First and every row, chain 2, and half double crochet to the end. Repeat, until piece is square or so. Easy peasy. 

You can make a border surround with single crochet,  but I'm not fussed with extras.

Sew in the ends and make many to gift.

Have a lovely day xx

Bye for now Stampin Up

Hi I know it's been a long time since I was here. I haven't even looked at the last time, I posted to be honest.

I'm growing my Stained glass and leadlight business and my interests are changing while I have the energy to be outside.  Stampin Up has been a wonderful company to work with,  and I still love the paper, cards, scrapbooking,  but I'm finding less time to want to be in that space. So unfortunately this little blog will also change with my lifestyle.  

The kids are growing up,  two out three have their drivers license,  I love it, and that they have no problems whipping out to get groceries. It's been a fast journey so far and there's plenty of time to reminisce. Onwards and upwards. 

I dearly want to scratch the surface and play with pottery, after I fix my kiln, and I am also keen to move a stack of rocks into a wall and build my little blacksmith workshop.  There's plenty more to say about all these ideas and projects, but for now, I'm sad to say I'll be moving on from Stampin Up. My little crew are already well cared for, so no real changes for them. 

Thankyou so much for all your support from my friends and customers.  I'm not going far and will still play again at some stage with my stash. 

Cheers Tamsin Adams

Do you love to make stuff, and or cards for that special occasion? or many as gifts and package them up into a gorgeous box?  I do. Every Christmas I give to my family a stash of cards that I have made throughout the year. Last year not so many cards. But I am determined to give them a huge range again this year.
