I am still crocheting away but am way behind you
I just finished this cloth (12/30/2011)and noticed a discrepancy. On the edging – the instructions say to end off after Row 1.. but the Row 2 instructions pick up as if you did not end off. Just thought you might want to know 
I have enjoyed following along all year and have printed off the instructions each day. I am featuring 8 cloths per week on my blog… thank you so much for the challenge!
This cloth turns out beautifully, by the way, like almost all of them!
