summer dishcloth swap q's!

k, first off business wise: i do not have any favorite dishcloth/washcloth patterns but prefer the ones to be about 7 inches (or so). I am pretty mellow!

now for the q's! (sorry, mom and i have been out today and had so much fun! i just assembled the 5 pairs of earrings i created at the bead shop and am relaxing with a tom collins, thanks goodness tomorrow is my sunday and sadly she flies out tomorrow night, boo hoo!)
