The last time I went to visit Chicky, I gave myself treat: a break from lesson planning. I needed the day and a half to simply “be.”
So, I took a skein of yarn, a crochet hook, and a simple pattern book and got to work.
First of all, I did not make a typo. I did mean to say “crochet.”
I had just overseen a divorce proceeding…unmarrying the yarn I had chosen from the pattern I’d paired it with. Just like people, some knitting notions are not meant to be together.
So, I was in need of a quick project.
When you combine that need with very little time and a dog who has chewed up almost every dish rag I own, my pattern choice was easy.
I selected the Simple Crochet Dish Cloth…
While the Mr. drove us ever closer toward my baby, I crocheted and frogged…crocheted and frogged. Finally, though, I got the hang of it (these were single crochet stitches all the way through).
By the time I got to Chicky’s school, I had completed one third of the cloth…
I had to put away the project, though, because we got busy watching the game and cheering on the girls.
I resumed working on it the next day, during the ride home, and finished it within a very short time.
I am so happy with the finished product!
The texture of this cloth is PERFECT for washing dishes!! I used one entire skein of Sugar n Creme (Pastel Delight).
The quick project lifted my spirits and my intense need for a project fix. I can’t wait to make more of these…whenever I have time again!
