#75 3-D Crochet Crochet Dishcloth

Wednesday March 16th – Today I received the sad news that our attempt for ‘Largest Collection of Crochet Dishcloths’ can not be accepted as a Guiness World Record.   I will now get busy lining up sponsors for our challenge.  Oh, well – I tried!  It has still been a lot of fun.

This dishcloth was designed and submitted by Carol Ballard.  To see more of Carol’s designs visit MaggiesCrochet.com or Carol’s Blog: http://www.cobblerscabin.wordpress.com/

Thank you Carol for all your wonderful designs.

    Well, I was really looking forward to being a part of the largest collection of crochet dishcloths in Guiness – it’s their loss though. You’ve got a great batch of designs! Good Job.

    this cloth just doesn’t seem square or rectangular…. has anyone else made one and if so, does it come out correct?
