Alambama Relief fund raising pattern

The tornados in Alabama and the aftermath are heartbreaking. I designed a quick knit dishcloth pattern that I'm selling on Ravelry for $1, with the proceeds going to Alabama Relief.

Knit of light worsted to worsted weight cotton, bordered on all sides with I cord that is knit on as you work, in a 1 row lacy mesh pattern. I like cotton dishcloths that dry quickly, they seem to stay fresher longer in our lovely hot, humid Texas weather, so my preference is for dishcloths in an open, airy knit.
