THE END OF A “YEAR OF DISHCLOTHS”
On November 27, 2023 by PamI have now completed all the patterns in the pattern book I started last January. I really learned a lot – so many different stitches and ideas.

On September 18, 2023 by PamI have now entered the “winter” section of my dishcloth book and I am now crocheting some penguins.
