Annual Dishcloth Swap on Ravelry

“Each participant is required to crochet or knit 5 dishcloth/washcloth/spa-cloths in the same pattern.” For the rest of the information on YARNS, the Actual Swapping, Postage + Envelope requirements, and deadlines http://www.ravelry.com/groups/annual-dishcloth-swap.

It is May, and I'm still stuck in “bird” mode. I can't find a pattern I like, so I am making my own. This is what I did yesterday. Today I'm going to make a revised version. Hopefully I will get it figured out, so I can get started on the five to send in.

 

Robins have three to five eggs. I think I need four in this nest instead of three, and they will be blue. They usually build their nest where the branch forks. I don’t like this branch. It will definitely be different. That will mean moving the bird slightly. The left edge is not okay. It needs less stitches.

Ellen Bloom has posted a good description of this swap on her blog, Los Angeles Is My Beat.

I love the filet crochet heart dishcloth she has made.
