Stash-Buster #9 - Snowboarding Coat Inspired Dishcloths

 More dishcloths from the stash....

Inspiration and pattern link from the amazing Sandy at Teacup Lane.

Inspiration comes from the most unexpected places:

These colors were inspired by a snowboarding coat I spotted on a young lady,

whilst on the ski-lift the other day.
