Anyone Need a Wash Cloth?

My friend at the local store told me she's planning to hold an artisan fair at the store later when it cools off. She wanted me to know so I could be making some of her favorites - crochet wash clothes.

So these days I am never without my trusty bag of yarn when I head out. You never know when Hubster will suddenly decide he needs to stop at Napa or Home Depot. And doc appointments? You don't even have to ask!

When I try to get fancy with them, no one likes them as much. Everyone likes my plain ol' simple crocheted cotton square with it's nice tight stitches. I can't help doing tight...it's natural for me. Sometimes I get things so tight I can't get the darn hook to go through. Then I have to put things down, relax a bit and come back later, with a looser attitude.

I'm still amazed that no matter where I go someone will ALWAYS ask me something about what I'm doing. I no longer think of waiting rooms as quiet places full of people trying desperately to pretend that they are the only ones there.

So I'm being productive this summer. With little projects that sense of accomplishment happens quicker, so I'm feeling pretty good about it.
