Crocheted Cotton Cloth

cotton crocheted washclothA crocheted cotton cloth from our good friend, and long time supporter, Sandie in Louisiana (also the winner of our JoAnne gift card for the comment contest). Cotton washcloths are such an awesome thing, for several reasons. They are a necessary item, everyone needs a washcloth...plus they're handmade which shows someone you didn't know cared enough to take time to make something special...special, JUST FOR YOU, plus hand made cotton wash cloths are so very soft and feel so nice on our skin and that gives wonderful comfort to all.

We supply personal items too and our last donation to Faith Mission was fabulous folks. Hand made cotton wash cloths, both knitted and crocheted, soap, toothpaste and toothbrushes, shampoo and rinse, lotion and razors. I was so pleased with our donations both for our men living under the bridges and for the folks at Faith Mission (both sides men and women). Thank you to all who participated. I say this often, but it bears repeating again. Every item is appreciated. Maybe you think I only have one of this or that....put with others it grows and grows and gives us the ability to help many in need. Please don't be timid and believe me when I say YOU DO MAKE a difference. One item, one stitch at a time.

July's focus is squares 7-10 inches, more details can be found in the side bar and or tab on the top of the blog.

  1. Put my lonesome cloth in with friends. He'll do the job up right. :-) this should probably have been blocked but I've never blocked anything. Do you think that's what it would take to get rid of the corner curls or is there another solution I don't know about? Always glad to help.

  2. I blocked a lot of my knitting, only once in awhile do I my crocheting. Those little corners...no big deal. While working on it, I tend to tug at my corners a bit while I'm going to the next row. It does have lots of friends now. lol
