Clothmaker, Clothmaker, Make Me A Cloth
July 19th, 2008. Filed under: Sewing on Saturday.I’ve joined a Yahoo group called Clothmakers. I’m really enjoying all the fantastic knitted and crocheted dishcloths and facecloths. On the first of each month, there’s a crochet along of a cloth and on the fifteenth, there’s a knit along. There’s an added bonus that keeps a person working feverishly on those cloths. You won’t know what design you’re knitting until you are nearly finished. If one only makes these two every month, you’ll have 24 in a year’s time. Enough to supply yourself and to use as gifts.
It’s not easy to contain yourself to just these two. It is ADDICTING! Cloths are fun, fast and easy to make and they are so much nicer than the purchased variety. These cloths are like the Pringles of knit and crochet land. Since it’s almost impossible to contain one’s self to just the two each month, think of all the gifts that can be put back and ready to go for birthday’s, bridal showers, Christmas and just because you’re my friend days. And since it’s difficult to stop at just one (or two), I’ve been searching and finding lots of great designs. I’ll give you links for two of each and ask that you share some of your links with me.
