I crochet dish clothes. I pin the middle together, tie, add a clothes pin for the body and sell at fairs with the slogan "Butterflies last but a moment, dishes are FOREVER!" Clever me. I used cotton yarns, Sugar and Cream, . I like the knitted best, but I have to learn to knit first.
I first knitted these butterflies in memory of the newtown children. They are knitted with regular acrylic yarn and are about three inches by two inches. They can be used as pins, decorations, etc. I can also make them smaller or slightly bigger. Thanks for asking!
