I've been cleaning out my craft supplies and came across a few balls of yarn I bought two years ago to crochet some dishcloths with. It wasn't doing any good tucked away in a box, so I got out my hook and started making squares.
They are fun (and addictive!) to make. Good to pop in the present box for a quick gift. I used Lily Sugar 'n Cream cotton yarn from here (remember you need to use 100% cotton yarn for dishcloths to be absorbent). The pattern was a simple one from Design Sponge.
They helped keep me entertained for a few weeks of Masterchef watching! I'm no pro-hooker, but this book helps me out a lot when it comes to my crochet endeavors :) Now to decide how many to keep for myself and which ones to put in the present box?!

Toni. i LOOOVE those dishcloths.
Becky gave me two for Mother's Day and I think they are the greatest thing ever.
I want to find someone to teach me to crochet, so i can make some more for myself. I have two going at the same time. I put them through the dishwasher with my dishes. I love your pretty colours. Love Auntie Lorraine.

Yes good point Lorraine, I would need to learn how to crochet first too. It looks a bit complicated!!!
I feel a need for a RS activity to teach us all how to crochet dish cloths!
These are lovely, think I need to learn how to crochet!
I really want to learn how to crochet, and these don't look too hard. I think I'll give it a go soon :D

As a non-hooker I have been given two and I think they make a great present Toni - which to keep and which to give though!??
i love these so much. can you add the link for the pattern? i cant find it anywhere at design sponge. beautiful photos! x
So I have been thinking about crocheting a cowl and a blankie for a while. You've inspired me to actually get the hooks out. Now all I need is to do it! Thanks Toni - love the colours!
lovethem - I think Lorraine yours were made with a bamboo/cotton blend -Aimee's mum made them!
they look so good that it would be a shame to put them to use... :)
They look great - yes, it would be hard to decide which ones to keep!
