Thank you Alexis in Florida. A for an excellent donation of goodies. Alexis was feeling patriotic and made Red, White, and Blue Squares knowing squares were our July focus. NICE! She crocheted her first ever washcloth too, awesome. Ponchos (8) for the rainy times, that we seem to have an abundance of, razors (20) and deodorants (6) to add to the person care packages. She also sent along some regular (4) washcloths.Thank you for thoughtful donation, Alexis, it's very much appreciated.

ReplyDeleteFor those of you with limited time to knit/crochet..how about buying store bought cotton washcloths and crochet an edging on em
ReplyDeleteNot a bad idea Patty, but one needs one of those tools to get the holes in the washcloth without it running, can't think of the name of it at the moment; and the idea behind our mission is handmade, so they know someone took the time to make something special for them.
ReplyDeleteGreat first time washcloth, Alexis! Hope you will continue with us and make many more! The personal items are so needed too! What a super donation......THANKS!
ReplyDeleteI use a small crochet hook for the holes or a darning needle
ReplyDeletePatty tell us about that, would be nice for a blanket edge to with some nice fleece. I really can't think of the name of the tool, it's like a whole punch. You don't have trouble with the hole not staying a hole but taring? I'd love to try this, even if not for the bridge. Sounds like a good idea.
ReplyDeleteNope no trouble at all...Joann's sells a tool called an awl..also there is a template called EdgeryDoo you can get online...try using a small crochet hook and practice with a washcloth
ReplyDeleteEdgerDoo, I think is the tool I was trying to think of, thanks for posting, it was driving me nuts not being able to come up with the name I'm gonna give it a whirl with the small hook and let you know how I do. Thanks for your help.
