A staple of my gift-giving are dish cloths. I have found a really great pattern that I enjoy making for a thick dishcloth that has lots of grooves so it can pick up lots of stuff while wiping counters or cleaning the dishes. They are quick and easy to whip up.
Here is the journey of how my craftiness found an outlet. Crochet is the hobby of choice. Now I can have my yarn cake and hook it too!
