    Maggie you are a great source for older crocheters…I am on a fixed income and enjoy doing the discloths, etc. that you have for free…I did buy a couple of your books, but cannot afford some I would like to have….
    I am “home bound” and cannot get out .. once a month for dr.appts. but that’s about it!!
    Thanks again…I have been looking for the one w/heart in the middle..on right hand side as you look at
    the page..So pretty and would be great….thanks again and God bless you and the “girls” who design them.

    Thanks P.G. for the help to find that pattern…will try to go back there! I enjoy the
    many kinds and would love to make that “heart in the middle” one for my girls that
    have helped me thru all my operations, falls, etc. With them and the Good Lord
    I have survived!!! God Bless you and love from CT…Ruth

    Hi – I am struggling with this pattern. Can someone help me out with Row 3. I just can’t figure it out. Any further explanation would be great. I love these dishcloths. I am trying to get back to my crochet and these are great for doing that! I look forward everyday for the next one! Thanks much.
