I made a few things and then stopped until 6 years ago when I could no longer be outside during the summer because of my MS. I started to crochet again and have found it very relaxing. I make some gifts but donate every year to two organizations in my town. This is my favorite go-to dishcloth – I never wrote it down before – so hopefully it makes sense.”
Thank you Shirley for joining the Dishcloth-A-Day Challenge.

Maggie I like the pattern. I also have MS and crocheting and knitting is all that I do in my spare time. I am retired. Joined a knitting club for cancer survivors and others. so any other patterns you may have would be helpful
