Dishcloth Pattern!

I'm sure this may very well be in existence already... but without checking into it, I made washcloths today using the following pattern... which i suppose as of right now, is mine... Mainly cause I'm too lazy to see if there is one just like it out there.

I call it the DC34 washcloth.

Using Peaches and Creme 100% cotton yarn.
Size h/8- 5.00mm hook

Chain 34
DC in 2nd chain from hook.
DC all the way across (should have 32 stitches)
*note, when you get to the ends, and there are those spaces from the chain/turn, I put the 32nd DC in that space. and skip that very first stitch after the chain 2 of the new row... if that makes sense.)
 Chain 2 and Turn.
DC all the way across (just make sure there are 32 stitches!)

I made 19 rows in mine and it looked like a good size. 20 would probably look about the same. But I like odd numbers i suppose.

The finished dishcloth was about a hour or so to make.

I like the way these turned out. I do not like chaining 3 and turning, the finished product doesn't look as finished to me as this way does.

Tote/Bag project

I got tired of using my peaches & creme yarn cone for washcloths. So i decided to look up what else would make a good project with 100% cotton yarn. The Sugar & Creme website had patterns... and you will need a login to check it out... but the website is great. Lots of good patterns. You can sort by crochet or knit, and level of difficulty. If you see a couple projects you like, you can basically bookmark them in the website. I like it.

So if you are signed up for their website, you can find the pattern via this link:
Market Tote Bag

I am working on finishing the piece up and am about 3/4 through the main piece. I still need to finish that and make the handles. Not sure if I want to turn it into a diaper bag and stitch in some pockets for bottles or not... we will see how much yarn I have left over.

Tomorrow is Payday. And payday means one thing... fighting with  myself all day to NOT buy more yarn. But i really like the cotton cones. Its a lot of yarn. If i can find the cones in solids that would suit diaper bags, I may alter the pattern a little bit to make it boxier.

All in all, productive day.

Update---

Here is a photo of the finished project. I reinforced the handles and beefed them up in general... as that is generally a point of failure on every purse/tote I have ever had. Was a good project. Not too long, and not too complicated. Will be making again... as I went to walmart again today and got 2 more Peaches & Creme cones. Oops.
