These two washcloths with the lace borders were made by Kathy. She has been knitting up lots of washcloths for the TGP washcloth project. In the process, her knitting has improved so much, that she is now a community volunteer for the knitting class!!

This mitered square washcloth was made by Melinda. She has been using the washcloth project to make washcloths using different stitches and patterns. There were a few trials on this and she learned a lot! Thank you for donating this, Melinda!

This washcloth was made by Darlene. There is a bit of a story behind it. She has sewn the corners together - I mistakenly flattened it for the photo. When she saw it, she told me that it was done on purpose. She likes her washcloths to fit over her hand for washing her face. I have corrected my mistake - but the photo is still flat. Thank you Darlene, for making for someone else, something that you would like and use!!

This washcloth was made by Gloria. She is working up to making an aran sweater for her daughter. The cable is a little difficult to see with the pattern in the yarn, but really is beautiful!!
