This is a really nice set that combines two things I enjoy doing, crochet and cross stitch. This set is excellent for gift giving. I like using the Lily Sugar n' Cream for good sturdy dishcloths. If anyone makes things for craft tables for fundraisers at school, etc. a set would be great in a variety of colors that people can choose from. A purple one would be pretty with yellow roses. What color would you choose?

I can't get the cross stitch pattern. All I get is an error when I try the link and it won't connect. Please help. I don't know what to do, and would very much like this pattern.
