Scrubbies

My sister taught me to knit quite a while ago. She taught me to knit socks, not something most people would start with, but a useful and useable project to learn.

In my last visit, she gave me some yarns and suggested I make some scrubbies.  What a great way to use up last bits of yarn! It's a great project to work on while watching tv, and eventually I hope to try and make some nice dishcloths as well. They'd make great wrapping for soaps and can be used as dishcloths or re-used as gift wrap. These scrubbies are filled with the mesh bags that many fruits come in, so not only are these scrubbies good for cleaning (I have one in my kitchen that works great!), they are a great example of being green (IMO, of course!)




Have a great week!

  1. I could have sworn you were the one who thought of the idea and asked if I had some scraps of yarn. Those turned out really cute!

    1. We share the same brain cell, so if one of us thought of the idea, then both of us did, Teresa. :) Thanks, it was nice to make things that didn't take a lot of thought, but is useful in the end.

  2. Such a great idea!! I love the way your knitted scrubbies turned out.

    I have a bunch of patterns for washcloths if you are interested. I could email you the pdfs :-)

    1. Thanks Michelle! I have a pattern for a washcloth from you which I have to try, and I was thinking of you when I mentioned making washcloths.

      I would love to have more patterns though, I don't know how well I'll do with them though. :)

    1. Thank you Nat! Unfortunately I can't take credit of the pattern, it's just the way the yarn was dyed, but I do like how it turned out. I think they make a nice little pillow for the soaps. ;)
