I couldn't resist adopting this as my crochet blog title, it's what my now 8 year old daughter called my hobby when she was 3. Her brother (2.5 years older) always corrected her, "It's called crocheting." with the exasperation only an older sibling can muster. Anyway, I like it and I figure it will serve as a little reminder as to what really matters if I get too caught up in the online crochet world....

FO: Dishcloths
When my in-laws' visit for my dd's birthday coincided with my MIL's birthday (did you follow that?) I decided to try to whip up some dishcloths for my MIL. Leah at my Yahoo CAL group had posted this set for 5 textured dishcloths . I must have been distracted (imagine that, in my house!) while making the first starting chain because I ended up with 24 instead of 34. I kept the first mini-dishcloth for myself. I managed to make a regular size #1, and then a #2 and a #3 before my MIL left, but I forgot to take a photo. I started #4, but didn't like it so I frogged it and skipped to #5 (can anyone say Jiffy Jacket? yes it is the same stitch...too funny!). That was enough dishcloths for me! I had to return to the baby gift crochet-a-thon. But... Leah posted a pattern for this Simply Circle dishcloth and I thought it might be nice for gifts for my dd's preschool teachers. I followed this pattern correctly but still came out with a mini-dishcloth. I kept this for myself, too. So I now have one large and two small dishcloths in my kitchen. (Btw, the preschool class is giving a group gift, so I'm off the hook - literally!)
