Christmas Crochet Dishcloths

I found out about this great idea on my wedding day almost 20 years ago. I received a few dishcloths(they weren't Christmas ones) along with some kitchen towels as a gift. I had NO idea people used crocheted dishcloths to do dishes. I saw an occasional hot pad or two at my grandmother's house, but I never saw a crocheted dishcloth until then. It sparked my creativity and not only that, but I started making them for our little nest as well as giving them as gifts. They are SO FUN!! And they REALLY do a good job with getting dishes clean as well as you know they are going to last longer because YOU made them to last!:) These are great gifts especially around Christmas Time because one thing I know in my family's house around the holidays there are LOTS of dishes to be washed. And I mean LOTS! So, when you are doing dishes and have a few crocheted Christmas dishcloths around, it makes the holidays seem more decorative and brighter. I don't know why, but they just DO. I like to use the Sugar n' Cream yarn that you can get either at your local Wal-Mart or any craft store. It has the look and feel of a normal dishcloth. You can probably use Red Heart Yarn; I have seen it done but I really like the Sugar n'Cream yarn the best. The choice is YOURS!
