Here is the 3rd
installment of our Spring Cleaning Dishcloth CAL.
I hope you have
enjoyed the first week of our CAL. The previous 2 dishcloths were fairly easy to
work and showed us that texture can be created in different ways. Today’s
dishcloth, however, will bring us right into the nitty gritty of post and puff
stitches. Might as well jump right in! We’re going to work them in such a way
as to create a lovely overall pattern that you will be proud to have completed.
Some spots may be a bit tricky for stitch placement, but I have tried to be as thorough
as possible when writing the instructions. If you have any questions, you can
always contact me via email, Ravelry, or Facebook.
This dishcloth
is named for my lovely SIL, Marie. She is the newest member of our family. She
is such a sweet, caring person – and we are all so happy to call her family.
Prizes: Cascade Yarns has generously donated some Nifty Cotton Yarn for prizes this year. This is the same yarn that I've used in all 8 dishcloth designs, and it is soooo nice. You won't want to miss out on this prize!
I'll also be giving away:
*Copies of the e-Book that contains all 8 patterns. You can add it to your Ravelry Library or store on your personal computer.
*Coupons for FREE MONEY in my Ravelry Store!
