Cloths and Scrubbies
Free Pattern: Hanging Hand Towel
My favorite dish cloths are the ones that button around a handle. I wanted to design a simple crocheted one. My mom has a double oven and I wanted a hanging towel that was a little shorter and squatty (love that word “squatty”) so it wouldn’t hang over the bottom oven. A video is not […]
Free Pattern: Scrubby Yarn Review and Flower Scrubbers
Free pattern and yarn review Last week Red Heart Yarns sent me some Scrubby yarn to try. At first glance it looks like a cross between fur and a brillo pad! I actually squealed when I saw the bright colors and even the names, such as ducky, ocean and grape are fun too. I couldn’t […]

Free Pattern: Blind Lobsters Scrubber
Hopefully, “Blind Lobsters” will help in spring cleaning. I thought blinds would be a great window treatment for my entire house, until I realized they need to be cleaned. It can be a tedious job.

Free Pattern: Bottle Scrubber
Have you ever realized how hard it is to clean a bottle without a special scrubber? When my youngest son was little we were at a cabin and I forgot the scrubber for his bottle. With no stores around, I ended up having to stick a towel in the bottle and used a wooden spoon […]
