Every summer I find myself designing something with bumblebees and ladybugs. I thought they would make kitchen sets. This bumblebee hanging towel button around a towel bar, oven handle, fridge handle and can even hang on a hook. Watch for matching cloths and scrubbies coming soon.

Weekly Wash #12: Blooming With Hope Cloths
Recently I designed a 12″ afghan block for the Moogly Cal 2020. As I worked the block, I kept thinking the center of the block would make a great flower on its own. I think I see the possibility for a cloth of some sort in everything! I gave it a try and I think […]
Weekly Wash #11: JP Large Flower Cloths
I have always wanted to design a large flower washcloth so after making the “Jonathan Flowers” cloth I thought I would try a large version. I really like how it turned out. I made the purple on first and then a friend suggested scrubby yarn for the center. Since I have to hold another strand […]
Weekly Wash #10: Jonathan’s Flowers
Over the past 10 years I have met the most amazing people and I love seeing the things they create from my patterns, especially when they make them for their kids. Tammi and Jonathan Pereira are a mom and son I have met through my shop and I consider them personal friends. I first met […]
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 […]
Weekly Wash #4: Penguin Hanging Towel
Penguins are one of my favorites and I thought they would make a cute hanging towel. Winter in Utah can get pretty blah in January so I wanted to make my penguin a little more colorful. Of course he would be cute in traditional black as well. He has a strap at the back to […]
