A finish
A couple of years back i started to make a conscious effort to change my lifestyle. One of the things was to stop using bought dishcloths. I started to knit my own but with all things lost interest. However i didn't return to buying the dishcloths i bought knitted ones off someone else. :) A week ago i got the cloth out & finished it.
I started a 2nd one the same night & it's about 1/2 knitted. I also finished putting the top together of Tis The Season. Now to get it quilted.
Happy Stitching,

Amazing doilys, well done.
What pretty crocheted doilies!! I don't think I'll ever be able to make anything so beautiful. But I have been crocheting my own dishcloths. Your pink knit one turned out great!!
I crochet my dishcloths, just love them, they just fit my hand better than the flimsy store-bought ones. Your Tis the Season is lovely!! And congrats on your ebay find, I have a ton of those myself, all packed away, sigh...
Good idea with the dishcloths, love your TTS...and what a lovely lot of doileys...

I have knitted dish cloths in the past too, I really should make some more... Your version of Tis the Season looks fabulous and a great find with the doilies!
I also love the knitted dishclothes , usually pick them up at church sales . The quilt is gorgeous Jeanette , beautiful job!! Great find on ebay too!
Lovely doilies, I never find anything like that! Good for you on dishcloths. I've crocheted loads but never actually use them!
I am trying to knit a wash cloth but I need lots of practice can not seem to get it down. Your doilies are great what a GREAT win on ebay.

Gorgeous quilt!! What an awesome EBay find!!
Oooo! Such pretty doilies! I have a whole box that were my grammies. I try not to open the box as it still has her "scent" and I want to save it as long as I can. ;)

Those doyleys are incredible.. I had a serious problem with envy fever!! I just love handmade wash cloths.. I have a knitted one on the go at all times, wouldn't go back to store ones..
