I did a swap with bet for recipe and dishcloth--my partner did NOT crochet with cotton yarn and it was rather small. Please be aware that a non-cotton yarn dishcloth doesn't help with dishes at all, especially when it's only about 5 inches wide and long........

I'm in. With the start of football season I do more crochet so this swap is great for now. Have a great day! Barbara

I"m always trying new patterns for dishcloths...they are so small and are a great way to try out a new crochet stitch or pattern. I'm doing a star type shape I just tried today and I think I like it as a dishcloth!! Fun swap!

You are SOOOO right @Love2Teach !! You MUST use 100% cotton yarn for dishcloths. Acrylic does not absorb water at all!!! Anyone who signs up for this swap MUST be willing use cotton yarn or they don't need to sign up!

I have a pattern that uses wool & cotton yarn, The wool felts and creates scrubby stripes...

This is gonna sound horrible but I love yarn too much to use it on my dishes!!! I know, tacky and silly but I want yarn to stay pretty. I'd feel wrong using it to clean or even dry things...Will wait patiently for the next swap in this "series" twiddles thumbs
