30/7/12 - I had actually finished the wash cloth for Friday but I wasn’t happy with my crocheted edge, then Tiago’s mother postponed our playdate which relieved me so that I could redo it. Best thing is to leave knitting a few days when it has bugged you, don’t you think? Looking much better now and was happily received. Yay.

25/7/12 - after finishing Tiago’s wash cloth #1, I thought a second was needed. This time I cast on the same number of stitches (48) in Latte (the colour I used to boarder the first one) and began with 4 rows seed stitch. As you can see from pic, seed stitch will make the board with an inner border of st st, then a thin boarder of seed stitch to the middle motif of the check board that I used in the first cloth. Full on free-styling so I am hoping it turns out ok.

I may crochet a sc boarder in white for contrast, consistant with the first one.
