Traveling Hook II...Hooking for a Cure

These crocheted afghan squares will become a part of, hopefully what will be, many afghans. The afghans will be put up for auction at some time in the future and all the auction proceeds will be given to the American Cancer Society to aid in research for cancer cures. I am one volunteer out of a number of volunteers who are members of an online forum for crocheters and knitters. This forum is called Crochetville.org.

superb dishcloths :)

As far as the scrubbies - when pattern reads to crochet last sc to 1st, it means join the last sc to the one you made in the first row. What you're doing is forming a tube to stitch the diagonal peice closed, so you'll be joining/seaming the first row you made to the last row.

I know it's a bit confusing, it took me a while to figure it out too! :)
