Crochet Dish Sponge

Here is a crocheted dish sponge:

I found this pattern and thought I would make one to try it.  I have been using it as a sponge for the last five days and I think it will be a nice replacement from the store bought sponges.  I think that I am going to have to get those green scrubby ones only for those tough baked on problem dishes.  I usually soak them overnight if I need to so it may not be an issue at all.

 

It was super easy and quick to crochet with very little yarn.  It'll be a great project for using up leftover scraps of cotton yarn.

Luxurious Ribbed Spa Cloth

Here is a new pattern for some dishcloths for my new camper:

I found this pattern on Etsy from Rustic Threads store.  I was looking for a new crocheted dishcloth pattern that has a tight weave.  I think I have found the perfect one!

I used I Love This Cotton yarn from Hobby Lobby.  A store recently opened in my area and I had to buy some of this cotton to try.  I really liked working with it!  Compared to Sugar N' Cream, the ILTC is much softer, does not separate easily and is not as linty.  When I work with SNC, I am constantly rubbing my nose because the lint is everywhere.  I will buy more of this next time I go there!!!

Emerald Slipped Basket

Here is a new dishcloth pattern that I discovered recently:

 

This pattern was easy to memorize and has a nice firm texture which I like in a dishcloth.

I am going to take a break from making dishcloths for a while.  I have tons of dishcloths that are packaged and ready to sell.  I am going to start working on some UFOs (unfinished objects - including hubby's socks - LOL!), more monsters and even some Christmas presents.

Lemon Lime Waltrip Dishcloth

Here is a dishcloth that I made while I was on vacation last week:

I was knitting this around the fire just to keep my hands busy and myself awake.  Anthony, a friend of my nephew, wanted to know what I was making so I told him.  He jokingly asked if it was for him so I gave it to him when it was done.  He told me that he would think of me every time he used it (add sarcasm here!).
