Well, today is Black Friday. The turkey has been eaten, the dishes have been cleared and it is time to think about Christmas. Dishcloths make wonderful gifts. Here is the set I just finished.
The first four, from left to right, are a simple seed stitch. We all know that they are the wonderful and have lots of texture but are slow and tedious to make. The next three I designed myself. Today I will focus on the Earthy Orange one on the far right.
