I try to always have a “mindless” project ready for road trips. Something I can work on while also playing co pilot, cruise director, waitress and busboy. When I finish one project I make sure I refill my little on-the-go bag so it is always ready. One thing I usually have going is a dishcloth […]

Weekly Wash #23: Ribby Cloth
A few years ago I designed this cloth for my facebook group as a crochet along. So many cute ones were made and people seemed to enjoy this simple but very useful cloth. This past week, while making an extra large version of it for my daughter, I realized I never released this pattern outside […]
Weekly Wash #22: Hard-Working Cloths
Yes, I do have this thing about crocheting cloths. They are great little projects to work on almost anywhere and in the car plus they are nice to stash away for gifts. But, let’s face it, some cloths are too pretty for scrubbing dishes and many take some concentration to make. These little “hard-working cloths” […]
Weekly Wash #21: Sweet Frosting Dishcloth
A few years ago I designed a “Flower Power Cloth” that is a unique hanging towel. I love the texture of it and have wanted to make a matching dishcloth. This texture and wavy edge reminds me of frosting. Watch for another hanging towel coming soon to match this with even more sweet frosting. Sweet […]

Weekly Wash #19: Bee Square
Growing up, my mom always had “trivets” we used under warm dishes. Most of ours were ones she had sewn because she owned a fabric store and is a wonderful seamstress. I often wish I had cute trivets to use instead of stained hot pads. Last year I designed a “Spring Sampler” blanket made from […]
Weekly Wash #18: Buggy Scrubbers
These are designed to slip over jumbo net scrubbers. I understand these jumbo scrubbers might not be available everywhere so I will be releasing a smaller version to slip over the smaller net scrubbers too. I also have included instructions for a “no net” version where you will sew two crocheted layers together instead of […]
Weekly Wash #17: Spiral Scrubbers
Today I finally talked my husband into taking me to a local attraction, “the Spiral Jetty”. It is about an hour from my house and something people come from all over to see. I have lived here my entire life and up until about 15 years ago I had no idea it even existed. This […]
