Hi All,
I have had great fun using cookie cutters for my pattern on the cloths. I just lay the cookie cutter on the graph paper, trace around it, and then work it into a pattern. From that chart, I write it out into written form.
I also got a coloring book for very small children. It is great for shapes to make into patterns. Just trace the pic onto the graph paper, and off you go!!!
Hugs,
Loomin Cat

Hi All
Hi Everyone,
I am almost back to "normal". After my son-in-law left for Iraq, my trip south for Hurricane Ernesto, my son's girlfirends brother died of Cancer, I think now things are calming down.
I have been away from the groups, for about 2 weeks now. I just found I was taken off, as co-moderator of the Looming Dishcloths group! I wrote privately to Janice asking why, but have gotten no answer. That really hurt my feelings, but I plan to stay in the group as a lurker. I am still willing, and eager to help anyone, whenever they ask.
I just don't get it. There are a few very high profile ladies who give excellent help, and a couple who come up with some beautiful patterns that they so kindly share with all of us. But a couple of them just seem to have a way of knocking any "new" people from really getting involved with conversions, or pattern designing. My little dishcloth rake is something that no one else is making, so can't see where that is a threat to anyone. Is this an ego thing? Or a money making thing? Don't know, and don't care anymore.
I will be converting patterns, designing patterns, and still trying to make my dishcloth rake. I really enjoy it, and love to share with all of you.
I'm probably babbling here, but it's my blog, so I can LOL
Hugs to all of you, and God bless.
