This week I'm going to continue to share crocheted gifts that I have given.
I started crocheting these cotton washcloths/dishcloths several years ago. They have been a common gift for the women over the years.
Last year I gave making crochet topped towels a try. They came out really well. I still have lots of towels since you only use half of the towel to make each one. I wonder who would like another one this year? I didn't have a pattern. I just took the one that I own and made my best guess.
I had won this cookbook in a raffle at the grandkids' elementary school. I knew I wanted to give it to my sister-in-law for Christmas. That gave me the idea to also crochet her 2 of the double thick hotpads and then make her the matching coasters and cross magnet with plasttic canvas.
Not sure why I thought they needed to match the cookbook, but they did.
I'm going to go off the track of the crochet now and show you a latest project. I was approached by the PR firm for wholesaleforeveryone.com and asked to make Trick-Or-Treat bags with some of their Halloween-Themed Bandanas
I did one post with the giveaway, but want you to be on the look out tomorrow when I will put up a tutorial with step-by-step pictures of how to make the bags.
These are gifts too. A bag for each of my 9 grandchildren that live in town.
Your handmade gifts along with the cookbook for your SIL are perfect, I think. And, of course, I do like the bandana trick or treat bags for the grandkids!
I love giving--and getting!--hand-crafted gifts! And I love the kitchen towels you made! Very clever, and so useful!
