Some of the Mods on Craftster recently decided we needed some sort of happy swap amongst ourselves. We all decided to fill a small Flat-Rate box, and I was doing well adding bits and bobs, but I had a bit of dead space, so I decided to whip up a dishcloth to fill some space and cushion some things. I got the fun of crafting for kittykill.
She mentioned having a cheerful yellow & red kitchen, so I made a cheerful sunshine dishcloth. Then, since I had some white cotton, so I made a cloud to go with it. Seemed like a great idea for a happy little matched set.
All this happened around the time there was so much excitement about the solar eclipse, so I whipped up a solar eclipse cloth to match. For the Eclipse, I started with the Sunshine pattern above, and added the edging from this
Eclipse Coaster pattern, made from I Love This Cotton! in black, and Sugar'n Cream yellow and bright orange.
At this point, it should have been clear I had a problem... But since I couldn't seem to stop hooking, I finally decided that kittykill clearly needed a whole set of celestial dishcloths, and added in a star and a rainbow. Well, the best I could come up with for a rainbow, since I crocheted them all from stash.
I skipped the edging on this one, as I liked the clean look of the star without it. It was made from I Love This Cotton! in colorways Turquoise, Pewter, Aqua Ombre, and Teal. My final 'rainbow' cloth was made with I Love This Cotton! in color 'brights', and the pattern is called Fire Blossom. I have a set made for me by a friend several years ago in this pattern, and these are by far my favorite dishcloths. They are just the right size, and just the right density for washing dishes.
