Teapot Coasters and Cloths

I've had fun making coasters and cloths from this pattern:
Teapot Coasters and Square

It's been fun choosing colors. Most have been done in cotton but I did do one
coaster in Red Heart. I don't like really big cloths and the square was 12", so
I modified it to suit my fancy and came up with a round cloth surrounding the
teapot.

I did coasters to make the cloths but can't seem to find the pics now.  :(

Sublimely Cloths

                                                                                      

I decided to start this blog to have a place to share my love of crocheting dishcloths. I have found I love working with cotton and making cloths, towels, coasters, etc. Most of the cloths I make come from free patterns from the web but I have designed a few. I plan to post about each cloth I make with pattern info, what I used to make it, etc.  Eventually to I want to add all, or at least most, of those that have come before.

I do tend to change up patterns to suit my own likes or needs. For me the perfect cloth size is around 8".
I'm not fond of overly large cloths so I have been known to cut a pattern down to size and in some cases
to increase a pattern to get it to the size I want. I also tend to use patterns for squares, pot holders, doilies,
etc. and cotton to make it into a cloth.

It will take me a while to get it all going but I hope lots of you find me and that you take the journey with
me. :)
