Dish Clothes

Moiya brought a hostess gift to Rebecca --  a red hand-crotched dish cloth, a gift for the 2 bin stainless steel sink we use.  Rebecca immediately put the cloth to use in the kitchen and since there were four women working around the counters, all of us used it.  Moiya is gone now  and we are wondering how to get a whole set of the dish cloths.  Would an invitation for another visit do?  I began to offer to make some myself for Rebecca, but then I remembered I don’t crotchet.  Claire Shepherd tried to teach me, and finally said, “You are holding the hook like a fence post.  Do something else.  I will crotchet hats for your children.”

Do you make the dish clothes for sale, Moiya?  Do you sell them in packages of threes?  In sixes? Can they be bought in bulk?  By the gross?  Give us a price?  When I asked Rebecca what she would be willing to pay, she said just don’t go there. Few woman are  paid enough for their labor on this front.

The reason that this is on our minds is that Alex opened the fridge and the ketchup bottle made a suicide leap from its inner-fridge door ledge  onto the floor, shattering the top of the plastic and splattering ketchup all over the floor.  “This is about the sixth time this has happened,” said Rebecca.  “Can all four of us help to clean it up,” said Alex.

The clean-up tool of choice for wiping up ketchup splatters was Moiya’s red cloth.”

So?   Do tell, Moiya.  How can we get a few more of those?
