Rhondda and I are so excited to host the Washcloth of the Month CAL in 2024. We will each have a new free washcloth pattern on our blogs each month, for 12 months! Plus, we will have 11 amazing designers that will be joining us this year. If you want to know more about the Washcloth of the Month CAL, including the schedule, please visit this intro post.
