Make It-Bake It

 I've been making a lot  of washcloths lately. Mostly crochet but one knitted. I am thinking of attaching them together to make a throw blanket. Love the soft cotton yarn and the colors. 





I copied the style of a 1950's clothespin holder that had been my mother's and  used upcycled fabric from an old skirt and trim from rummage sales. I used the hanger from the original clothespin bag but a new one could easily be made.


Here's just two photos what I've been baking
