Some Crocheting

Pin It
 
 
 
A while back, I showed you this pattern that I had pinned from Pinterest.  Well after finishing the afghan from hell, I quickly found the proper crochet hook, some spring-like Peaches and Cream cotton yarn and dove right in.
 
 
 It didn't take me long.  While visiting one Saturday afternoon with some friends, I quietly crocheted as we talked, then that evening I continued to pluck away at it.  The next morning, I knew I could easily finish it and that is just what I did.
 
 
 
The pattern was quite simple.  Mostly repetitive but I did find that main body of the towel was a bit too long for my liking.  Making a few minor adjustments ..... cutting out rows 51 to 59 .... seemed to help.  I could actually have cut out a couple of more rows, which I will do next time because yes, I will be making more of these. 
 
 
Finding a button and attaching it, I quickly set to work in making some dishcloths to match.  Perfect colors for Spring!
 
 
 
 
It is nice to finally try some of the Pinterest projects that I keep pinning.  Happy crocheting/knitting and remember to give your loved ones a hug!

  1. Such a pretty and fresh color. Makes me think of spring flowers...Oh, spring can't come fast enough!

    It's always so rewarding when I'm working in my kitchen and I pull out a dish cloth I've made. Seems to make the work go quicker for some reason or, I don't seem to mind it as much LOL! Nice job Debbie
