Pikachu

One of my swap partners mentioned her sons love Pokémon. She wasn't specific about which ones, so I went looking for some free Pokémon inspired ami patterns to see if I could make some to send off in her package. Pikachu seemed like a good choice. I'd had success making him for a family member before, so I looked up the pattern found here and got started. Of the three I made, this one was the easiest.

Dippity Doos Dishcloth

I haven't finished posting all the ami's but I needed a break. That is one of the reasons I added dishcloths to both the crochet swaps I was involved with this month. They were a nice break from all the amis I was making. I personally like getting them because they brighten my kitchen. I always ask before adding them to a package, but most other crocheters I've swapped with also seem to like them. I find them to be both practical and pretty. I enjoy working on them as I try out stitches I don't always encounter in my doll and ami projects.

My swap partner liked red and since I needed a contrasting color, black seemed a good choice. I found this pattern in Learn-a-Stitch Crochet Dishcloths which is currently out of print. I see it pretty frequently in places that sell used crochet books. It has some of my favorite dishcloth patterns.

Checks Dishcloth

This dishcloth was for the second crochet swap. Again, it was a nice break in the middle of crocheting ami's. This pattern came from a Leisure Arts publications simply called Crochet Dishcloths #5951. This was an odd publication. It came out in 2013 and it was on my list of patterns to buy. There were several patterns I knew I wanted to make. Then it was gone. I managed to get a copy, but it wasn't easy to find. I've never seen one come out and disappear so quickly before.

This swap partner asked for pink and grey. I love this variegated pink cotton. Grey is not an easy cotton color to find, so I decided on black again as my contrasting color. This one almost didn't make it into the box. I think I'll be making another one at some point.
