Making Crochet Angel Dishcloths

Wednesday, April 15

This angel dishcloth is so cute. Found the pattern on-line and just had to try it. Don’t know why I bother buying pattern books since it seems there are millions for free.

One thing though about the free ones. Some have errors in the directions and also typos. But they are free, so I have to take the good with the bad and work through the unclear parts.

I used cotton yarn. Lily Sugar ‘n Cream. The smaller size skein. Each angel used up one skein. I covered a 2″ gold metal ring for the hanger.

The pattern calls for tacking down the wings but when I did that, it no longer looked like an angel. Looked like a doll’s dress. So I untacked them. I went around the whole thing with a row of single crochet. It makes it look finished.

Here’s the pattern in case you want to make your own angel. It was easy to make.

I am Torn.. Which Side to Clear Off?

Wednesday, April 1

April 1st!! Already!! My original plan today was to post a photo of a bed sized quilt and brag that it was mine, that I had made it. But I am sure you have already had your fill of April Fool’s jokes.

So, I come here today joke free but with something serious. No laughing matter.

Since this will be Sewing Month… yep, it is. REALLY!! I have to clear off one of the two banquet tables I use for crafting. I have them in an L shape. Right now my beading supplies take up the entire long side of the L. My little TV and crochet supplies take up the rest of the L. There is NO ROOM FOR QUILTING SUPPLIES unless…

Unless I clear off and box up something. BBL to tell you what I did.
