Spiral Lace Single Crochet Mat

ByJanel April 16, 2023April 16, 2023

Therapy crochet while I listened to a message at home.

Round Knit Dishcloth Pattern

ByJanel November 19, 2012January 31, 2023

Cool round doily style cotton dishrag or mat, written out to be ultra simple for non-knitters like me I saw someone making one of these and got stars in my eyes. She was kind enough to write down the instructions from memory. They may have been good instructions, but they didn’t work for me. Neither…
