maybe this time you will get this crochet dishcloth pattern Im trying to send you.
Love ya Laura
crochet dishcloth for you.
Laura
have instructions for “simple dishcloth”, tells me to…”insert hook insm st and pull up a loop…” what does insm mean?
selina devalcourt–I’ve never heard of that one. Could it be a typo? Maybe “in sm” which might mean “in same”. Are they online instructions? If you have a link I can have a look at it.
I was directed to your site by a link on AllFreeCrochet.com for your Scrubby Rows Dishcloth pattern. When I avail myself to someone’s generosity and they share a pattern with me, I like to send a little note of thanks just to let you know someone, at least, appreciates your efforts. I am compelled in my actions by my Dear Old Sainted Mother who was very big on thank you notes, and who promised me a real good old fashioned haunting if I didn’t maintain the practice. Thanks John
John–Much obliged to you for your gracious note of thanks and a tip of the hat to your Sainted Mother for insisting on this evidence that you were what we in the southern US refer to as Raised Right.
