Can not get this pattern Spic-N-Span Dishcloth to print out right. I can not get all the pattern to even print out, just the begining.
I don't know what the problem could be. Either click on the printer icon from the top toolbar of the document or use the Menu sidebar and print from there. I've had no problems that way. Hope this helps. 🙂
when I tried to access the pattern I got an internal server error?
I came across your pattern and site from a link on daily free crochet.
I read the comments and I wanted to just say that I clicked on the pdf link and it is working fine.
Thank you for sharing your patterns with the world despite all of your limitations.
If you want to link share I have a crochet page too at http://www.freewebs.com/witchway2003/memycrochet
I also had no proble printing pattern just clicked on the printer.
I had no problems at all downloading the PDF. Thanks so much for sharing <3
I wish there were a video showing how to do this dish cloth. I would love to make a couple of these.
But the truth is, the written pattern, seriously confounds me 😀
Believe me I keep picking it up and trying again. However I am a visual learner.
Has any one ever made a video of the spic n span dishcloth instructions? If you have would you be willing to share.
I would be ever so grateful.
Thank you.
