March mid-month KAL

This is the latest KAl from the Monthly Dishcloth KAL group. I'm really happy with how it turned out. I like the way my variegated yarn looks in the dishcloth ALMOST as much as I liked it in the ball, which is unusual!

Princess Crown dishcloth pattern

This is the first pattern I've designed, and I'm very excited about it! One of the ladies in the Monthly Dishcloth KAL group was looking for a crown pattern, and I emailed her, and said that if she couldn't find one, I'd design it for her. Sure enough, she wasn't able to find one, so I gave it a try. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out!
