Dishcloth and pokebox
I finished my crocheted dishcloth! It actually went pretty quickly once I got the hang of it. Now that I know what I’m doing, I might have to go and buy some more wool (or cotton, or cotton wool… you know what I mean) so I can make another one to have as a spare….

Thanks for removing that 😉
It looks like an old-fashioned sewing machine to me – the sort Amy might have had 🙂
PS: A belated Happy Christmas 🙂 Sounds like you had a good one.
I love it! Very nice work!
