I’ve always made washcloths 6-8″ so when I was given a few little mini cloths I thought “those are cute…. what do I do with them?”. Well, I ended up using them for a TON of things. These little 4.5″ cloths are great for removing make up, dishes, little piggies, even coasters. I found so […]

Weekly Wash #11: Let Us Scrub
Spring starts this weekend and I have already started my spring cleaning…planning HAHAHA. This scrubby will be great for getting the house and even the car squeaky clean. Did I set out to crochet a head of lettuce? No, but that is totally what I ended up with! lol. I wanted a scrubby to slip […]
Weekly Wash #10: Washcloths in a Jif
We’ve all had that moment when we needed something right then but had very little time to make or buy it. Often, while traveling with our trailer, I run out of washcloths to use. I try to keep lots of cotton yarn with me so it is good to have a simple pattern to whip […]
Weekly Wash #9: Scrubby Duster
Since we live in a desert and have gravel pits in town (where they mine away the mountain and turn it into gravel, sand, etc), dusting is an ongoing project in my house. I go through these duster things like crazy. So this past weekend, when I noticed I had tons of the handles that […]
Weekly Wash #8: Lucky Washcloths
There are lots of crochet patterns for washcloth/dishcloths. My favorites are ones that whip up quickly, can be made on a road trip without a lot of concentration and are thick and strong. I got lucky (hence the name… plus St. Patrick’s Day is on my mind lately) and these turned out to fit all […]
Weekly Wash #7: Twisted Scrubbie
Crocheted poufs are one of those things that I really like the finished project, but making them takes WAY longer than I want to spend on something I am going to use to wash the dishes or arm pits. Some even take an enormous amount of yarn and can be tricky to make. After trying […]
Weekly Wash #6: Beary Sweet Hanging Towel
Last year for Valentine’s Day I designed a “Beary Sweet Pouch“. I have always thought it would be cute as a hanging hand towel too. I definitely need some color in my life lately as the winter blahs are setting in. Northern Utah is either frozen and covered in snow or mucky mud…it changes daily. […]
Weekly Wash #5: White Board Cleaners
I kind of have an addiction to white boards (dry erase boards). I have several throughout the house, including a couple really big ones. After trying a bunch of different erasers and cleaning them often, my husband suggested using an old rag like he uses on his in the garage (yep, even he has one […]
