I have to admit I have never crocheted a dishcloth – I have used one at my Mother-In-Law’s house before though and I was surprised by how effective it actually was!

I love the variety of patterns available in this book!
Dishcloths are really a great way to try new stitches – you may even find one you want to use to make a different project, like an Afghan.
This dishcloth pattern even incorporates a scrubby in the centre!

I decided to try two of the designs included in the book – and if I had had more time I would have tried more of the patterns.
I did not complete the full Rainbow Dishcloth Pattern as I wanted a smaller size cloth to give to Darla and Drew for their baths…to make it easier for them to hold onto. Sometimes facecloths can be too large for my little ones’ hands!
I really liked the variety offered in this book – these projects make excellent gifts, are practical for your own use at home and are great stash-busters! They also work-up quickly – they are perfect for quick summer time projects – they will allow you to get your crochet fix without overheating under a large bulky project!

I would love to own the Absolutely gorgeous Doilies ebook . But whichever one you choose next month will be wonderful
I would like to see the Celebrity Baby Fashion Crochet eBook. =)
50 Fabulous Crochet Squares eBook would be the book of choice! I am totally immersed in the granny square right now, like an addict!! I can’t seem to get enough of them. I will eventually end up with a blanket (or two), but for now, bring on the grannies!!!
I too enjoy dish/wash cloths… but enjoy the smaller sizes … These projects are easy to travel with. I enjoy challenges with different patterns too!
Some of patterns look cute. I’ve made a couple dish clothes but only using SC and going back and forth. Kinda boring 🙂 I’d love to learn how to make socks or s very simple sweater.
Would love to see you review and giveaway the “50 Fabulous Pineapple Motifs to Crochet” by Leisure Arts. Thank you for the giveaway.
Any ebook sounds like fun 🙂
Looks like an awesome book to learn as the beginner I am 🙂
I love dishcloths. They are easy to make and small enough to try out new stitches. I find they are wonderful gifts that are appreciated by all.
I love Leisure Art;s patterns, especially on Friday when their members get a free pattern..lol. Your Facebook page and website are just always fun and inspirational. Thanks. 🙂
I haven’t crocheted in a while, but want to get back into it. I would choose two books then, I can’t believe I’m crocheting updated version, so I can relearn what I’ve forgotten. The second book would be A Zoo For You, or one of the other Amigurumi books.
I would love to own their Square by Square Granny Afghans eBook
Super nice!
Either socks or afghans! Thanks for the giveaway!
I can’t believe I’m crocheting socks. Is the ebook that caught my eye would love to learn.
I want the 280 crochet shell patterns book.
Love your Oombaka blog and Facebook pages. Leisure arts books have great patterns.
Such pretty colors. Love the dishcloths book.
I love learning and crocheting ~ right now I love making afghans and would love any books on those! =)
I’d like the one about crocheting socks.
I looked through the books on the LA site & there was one on wraps that I thought looked good. I know that they’re probably not challenging for most people, but it would be nice to have some fresh ideas to mix it up a little. They’d be great for fall! (I know, we’re barely into spring!) I’m slow, so I like to think ahead! 😉 thanks!!!
I think I need this book!
