Friend Christmas gifts that don't break the bank!

I love Christmas and the feeling that comes with it.

I want to give and help and share and not break the bank. 

I started these wash cloths in Sept. here.  Ya, you thought I was starting early right?

I started last December, the day after Christmas! I went shopping and found these adorable dish towels.

I loved all the colors in this dish towel and I loved the price - $1.00!

Awe - so many fun colors!

I can not mass produce very well. With all the colors in the dish towel, I could try all different colors of yarn for my first crochet project and not get bored.

I am so glad I started early, or I would never had finished them,

and Ohh, Awe, they are so cute!

I was happy, I had ordered this colored twine.

I wasn't sure what I needed it for, but I knew I

needed it.

What is a dish towel, dish cloth without some Christmas soap from Bath and Body works?

My Christmas friend gift that cost:

dish towel - $1.00
dish cloth - $1.50
hand soap - $2.50

7 have been delivered, and if I don't get out there today, I will have Christmas presents for next year!

Christmas (don't kill me) crocheted-ribbed-dishcloths for beginners

I am getting ready for Christmas!

Every year I say I will start early, and I don't.

When you want to  make some things for friends,

you have to get

going

early!

so proud of myself

The first three are for me - It took me a minute and a dish cloth or two to figure out what I was doing.  The first one I made was a mess, so it wasn't picture worthy. (still works, just a little crooked!)




The tutorial is found here: Aesthetic Nest!  I am so grateful for those creative crafty people who share their talents.

I made mine a little bigger than this tutorial - I started with 30 stitches - personal preference!

Confession- I received a crocheted dish cloth a few years ago, and I thought - Weird.  Then I tried it and it is my FAVORITE. They wash up so good.

The yarn has to be 100% cotton.  Peaches and Cream brand has some luscious colors and it is at Walmart.  The cost is $1.77 and it will make two dishcloths (small skein of yarn).

 My sister Chris who can crochet anything is going to laugh at me. . .
