like a great many of you, my grandmother was of the crafty sort. these days, nearing 90, she isn’t able to craft nearly as much as she used to, or wants to because of arthritis. this makes her handmades even more special.

i have made her various things throughout the years, but nothing recent & certainly nothing knit. this is partly due to her living in arizona where handknits really aren’t practical… when my sister-in-law requested a set of dishcloths for christmas it hit me, ‘duh!!’ that is what i could knit for grandma. ;)

i had planned on, of course, an “i love grandma” (or) “#1 grandma” cloth (or) some such. imagine my surprise when i couldn’t find ANY such patterns on ravelry.

@ any rate, i found this one & liked it. decided to modify it a bit though, taking out one of the hearts, to make it a bit less busy & change the ‘mom’ to ‘gma’…
