Quick Dry Dishcloth

This is my new favorite dishcloth. It works up quickly. It’s pretty. And, it dries fast, so no stinkification.

2 anonymous crocheter October 31, 2009 at 2:12 pm: Neat dishcloth. What kind of yarn is that exactly? What does the ‘WW’ part mean?
3 anonymous crocheter October 31, 2009 at 2:13 pm: you made a typo by the way: you said that you used an H needle. You must be thinking about knitting, because it’s supposed to be a hook!

and, anonymous crocheter–my mom always called her crochet hooks crochet needles. I dunno.

I used cotton thread for my dishcloths & they came out nice. Just an alternative for someone who would be wondering if it would work.

Thanks again!
