This is my favorite cotton dishcloth pattern. Over the years I have been given and subsequently lost this same pattern over and over again! I would start a dishcloth, put it down, pick it up a month later and realize I couldn't proceed, because the pattern was lost again. I even put it on the computer hoping that then I would always have it handy. Well, when you reformat, everything you don't save on Zip disks or floppies is gone! It was too late when I remembered that I should have saved the dishcloth pattern, so there I was again, without the pattern.
So, we have been online a long time now. There is a wealth of information out there if you go looking for it. Why then, did my hubby have to be the first one to mention that I could probably find the pattern on the internet! DUH! Well, I found it in about 15 minutes and I was ready to clock myself on the forehead for not thinking of it first! I hope that having the pattern on my homepage will help me keep track of it better!
