Has anyone on GN got the right to give private information about you?

Surely not. People on GN should have the right to anonimity, unless they choose to divulge any private information, be it about profession, locality, ethnicity, or whatever.

Secondly, should any information given in a PM be fair game to share to other members? Surely not.

We used to dream of having four little nails……

Oh what a shame because the ones available when I was a child were really good.

Anyway back to dish cloths. When you make mine can it have a red edge please?

We just had four little nails hammered into an empty wooden cotton reel.

Life was tough😬

I haven't made one yet - does someone have a pattern please?
It shouldn't be too difficult, should it?
I am rather old, although.

I'm making cosy blankets 😁
The dog loves his.

I don't know if you need to be logged in to see these, but here's a selection:

a rainbow one to show support for Pride

and a clubbing one

and a festive Rudolph

Are they gangsta enough for you? I can't find any ageist ones for those poking fun at forum members (Ravelry has rules against hate and discrimination), but I'm sure they'll be out there somewhere, should they want them.

Brilliant 🤩

Iam64. For you. smile

Blossoming Sun 18-Dec-22 21:00:53

Hahaha. Still, better than miserable, boring little old ladies, crocheting doilies

Nasty, stereotypical and ageist. A trifecta in fact. Well done.

I haven’t been able to crochet properly since I lost the use of my left hand, but I could probably manage a dish cloth. Must see what I have in my craft stash.

So gangsta

Hahaha. Still, better than miserable, boring little old ladies, crocheting doilies.

Whats wrong with crocheting? It’s my secret weapon, the threat I hold over my (lovely) SIL s

Be afraid, be very afraid!

Gansta granny strikes again is on the BBC tomorrow, might be dishcloths.

Callistemon21 Sun 18-Dec-22 20:36:31

Oh yes, I bought one for a DGD .
The modern one was rubbish.

Smileless2012 Sun 18-Dec-22 20:34:37

I'm no good at crochet or knitting but did anyone ever have a 'Knitting Nancy'? You can still buy themshock.

Pattern not needed. My dishcloth is just a cotton square. I’m a gangsta one day and a dishcloth lover another. Life can be sooooo exciting.

What! Just a square?

Which stitch do you use Farzanah?
My range is very limited.

Smileless2012 Sun 18-Dec-22 20:25:07

You mean Callistemon doesn't need a pattern Iam?shock

Iam64 Sun 18-Dec-22 20:22:35

Farzanah, you’ve broken my spell. I was pretending a pattern was needed. I wanted to be helpful 😂

I'm starting in the New Year.
One for every Gransnetter.

Smileless2012 Sun 18-Dec-22 20:14:54

Oh good for Iam. Hand crochet dish cloths will lovely Christmas presents. Something someone would never think of asking for, but be delighted to receive.

Callistemon21 Sun 18-Dec-22 20:10:28

Smileless2012

Oh yes, Stick Man certainly fits the picture Callistemon as does the Magic Faraway Wood, where you'd expect to see tree people and stick men.

Now you can see the interest in your dish cloth post so do tell us what it was about.

I need a pattern, Smileless!
Iam64 has one, I think.

Next year's Christmas presents sorted 🙂

Callistemon21 Sun 18-Dec-22 20:08:37

Iam64

I’ll have a pattern in my box to be sorted. Do you need a single or multi coloured pattern Callistemon

I have some plain cream cotton yarn, left by a DD who bought it as a resource for school about 15 years ago 🤔
Perhaps she was going to teach children how to make dishcloths?
Or string pictures, who knows.

Are you guys ever going to stop?

Strength in numbers?

You are only making yourselves look bad

Don't you like crocheting, Violetsky?
Serious question.

Retro is very 'in' at the moment.

Oh go on Callistemon let’s hear about your dishcloth, am dying to know, did you crochet it yourself?

Iam64 Sun 18-Dec-22 19:57:55

Can dish cloths be made with crochet? Bet they can
