The great thing about washcloths is how quickly they work up with less than a skein of yarn. Pair these homemade washcloths with…

    BySharon Williams November 21, 2022February 10, 2023

    I remember the day about 20 years ago when I asked my Grandma to teach me to crochet. We were heading out on a road trip to Florida with just me, my Mom and my Grandma. I had a crochet hook and a skein of yarn and a thousand miles of road ahead of us….

I spend a little time each evening doing what some might think is unproductive. When I’m crocheting, I’m not doing laundry, the kitchen doesn’t get cleaned and I don’t get any blogging done….
