This is the KAL I did with MonthlyDishclothes, a group on yahoo. It was the first KAL of the month. I like the pattern but wished I would have used a lighter color. I sure went from on extreme to the other this month, didn't I? I used the cotton I won in a Bingo game from another group. I don't know what it is as the band was removed, but it was easy to work with and doesn't feel as stiff as the cotton I normally use. I think this one will go to my Grandma when I pick her up for an overnight visit in a week or so. She will like it as she is my biggest fan when it comes to my crafting.
