Last Friday I managed to get another washcloth off my hook, this time it was the one I'd made for my youngest, Miss 1.
To save squabbles over things like bottles, plates, and the like, each of my children have an assigned colour. Mr 7's favourite colour is green, so that's his; Miss 4 is very much into pink, so that's hers; and Miss 1 is really too young to express an opinion, so she's got purple. As Mr 7 and Miss 4 have got predominantly green and pink washcloths, respectively, Miss 1 obviously needed a purple one.

| Off to a flying start. |
Once again, I followed the pattern in The Bumper Book of Crochet, though I decided against adding any stripes, mainly because I'm reaching the point where I'm ready to try crocheting something else so I wanted to whip it up without too much fuss. But I also thought a solid colour with a contrasting border would be a nice effect.
If I was a little more confident in my abilities, I'd have tried something a bit fancier on the edging, but after making a nice neat washcloth, I didn't want to risk spoiling it with a scruffy edging. I know I'll have to suck it up and give it a go at some point in the future though. At least the beauty of crochet is that it can be easily undone and restarted again, if you need to. But for this time. I chickened out and decided to just keep it simple.

Hopefully by this time next week I'll have my final washcloth finished and ready to share. Then I can share something non-washcloth-shaped!
