It's my friends 70th birthday today and so here is the first washcloth gift I have made so far, using some of the cotton I bought at the weekend.
My friend is a really girly lady if you know what I mean and loves things soft and feminine so I thought pink shells would be just the thing. (Pattern here)
I love this colour and I'm sure she will too, I enjoyed making this the worst bit is the sc edging trying to get your hook in the tiny spaces but it's worth it in the end.
I also made a little basket in white cotton
and then filled it with sweet scented goodies
I hope she'll like it.
Happy Birthday Doreen xxx

What a lovely handmade present Linda.
ReplyDeleteI've sometimes hooked wash/dish cloths to learn a new stitch/pattern - small enough to finish and large enough to establish the pattern!
I'm sure your gift will be well received.

How lovely, I'm sure she'll love it as I'd be delighted with this gift too.
ReplyDeleteJust discovered you through Hooking up on Hump Day.
ReplyDeleteI love this! What gorgeous colour.
I've made quite a few myself. My daughter and I have been using them over the past year and they still look as good as new.

That's a very thoughtful gift. I'm sure she will be delighted that you actually made it instead of buying it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet homemade present! Who wouldn't love it? Very nice, Linda.
ReplyDeleteI love gift ideas like this. It's not only pretty but functional!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a pretty gift. I'm sure your friend will be delighted with it :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful gift, Linda! I'm sure your friend will love it. The washcloth came out very nice; my least favorite part of crocheting washcloths is the single crochet edging.
ReplyDeleteTake care :-)
Hi Linda, I love the washcloth and the color is so pretty, bright and cheery! I love the bowl too. I know your friend will love it.

Beautiful gift! Love the idea of a basket to hold the goodies.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda. Such a lovely, thoughtful gift for your friend. I hope she had a wonderful birthday. And I think your daughter will love the doily. It's such a beautiful color and it will complement her house and rug so well. Thanks for visiting me and your kind comment on my washcloth. Yours are all so very lovely. I will write and post the pattern for mine as I did it as I went. I think I will also post the other ones I have already made. Have a great rest of the week my dear friend :)
