I prefer cleaning with homemade cleaning products and I think these cloths are the perfect addition. These basic dish- and washcloths are going to be my weekend project the next few weeks.

For example, when you chain three and start your next row, don't stitch in the first one. Your chain three will take the place of that one. Start in the second available stitch. I have made this mistake in my early days of crocheting. Always make a habit of counting your stiches Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5508072752277675644.post-29582309825980167372009-02-09T03:13:00.000-05:002009-02-09T03:13:00.000-05:00Weber could also be tightening stitches.

Try counting the number of stitches on your first row vs. the number in the last row you made and I'll bet you find there are fewer. This commonly happens on the turn but depends on what stitch(es) you are using.Brad H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05788381929020776876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5508072752277675644.post-79599864461487456412008-12-09T14:21:00.000-05:002008-12-09T14:21:00.000-05:00I don't know.
