scalloped dishcloth

I'm in a RAK group on Ravelry (Random Acts of Kindness) and last week I spotted a wish for a dishcloth. Since I hadn't been doing much crochet, I jumped at the opportunity to share one. Making this actually helped pull me out of my funk just a little bit, it was very relaxing.

I made this using the scalloped potholder pattern again. I love this cloth, it works really great when you need to scrub, which I need to do often. The color is crown jewel in Bernat Handicrafter cotton, I just recently bought the color, I really like it!

You may see this color pop up a lot, I bought a big skein of it and I've been testing out different patterns for dishcloths. This week should hopefully be filled with lots of crochet blogging, my hook has been going non stop this weekend! Maybe I'm getting out of my funk?

Thanks for visiting!

    This is really cute. I have been thinking of doing potholders for Christmas presents. I'll have to keep this one in mind.
    Have a great day.

    Thanks for the link to that group. I would love to participate in this. Doing something for others is a great way to bust a rut of any kind! You will make someone's day.

    Well if that isn't inspiration to stray from solid colored yarn, I don't know what is!

    I love it... I'm obsessed with cotton crocheted dish rags right now... I've been making all sorts of springy colors!

    Sería mucho pedirte si podés poner por favor el diagrama de puntos. El dibujo como en las revistas japonesas. Me interesa hacerla pero no comprendo bien las instrucciones del patrón. Perdón por escribirte en español espero puedas traducir con google. Muchas gracias.

    I love making dishcloths because they are quick and easy and make a great little gift along with baked goods or other kitchen items. Thanks for sharing the link. Tomorrow is my last day of school and then 2 months off so I plan to try lots of new projects and this will be one of them. have a great week. Tammy
