A little weirdness...

A few days ago I finished knitting this cheery little dishcloth for our kitchen. It looks great (our kitchen is painted white and the walls are yellow) and it makes me happy every time I look at it. 
Now for the weirdness: I haven't used it yet. I have another (store-bought) dishcloth next to it, which I use for the actual dirty work. When I buy new towels or dishcloths, I have no trouble using them. In fact, I look forward to it. But when I make them I somehow don't want to get them dirty. Ever.

Silly, I know. But there you have it. ;-)

  2. Oh, Silke, that is not silly. I am the same way. I buy greetings cards, too, that I think are beautiful ~ and I don't use them. I just like looking at them. All that beautiful hard work of creating and then to use it and soil it? NO WAY, Silly Silke. lol

  6. Hey Silke!
    Such a pretty cloth! I crochet these and give them as gifts. Recently, my sister had a beautiful black casserole that she sat down upon the most colorful cloth and it looked so pretty. Startled, I realized that the colorful cloth was one that I had made and given to her! She says she gets compliments on it all the time. YAY!
