I try to use as little kitchen paper as possible for moping up spills and cleaning, but this can be quite demanding in terms of the number of cloths required. So, over the past couple of weeks I’ve been using up some of my cotton yarn to make these…
A fancy dishcloth
It’s also given me a chance to play with a few new stitches and enjoy some old ones.

/ March 26, 2016Great idea! You could have pot holders, towels, place mats, all sorts of things. Wonderful use for leftover yarn. 🙂

/ March 26, 2016I learned to crochet about 4 years ago having tried for three decades! Somehow, it finally just clicked and I haven’t looked back!

/ March 26, 2016Great idea – I make my own cotton cloths but haven’t been creative enough to think of using different stitches and patterns! Thanks for the idea xo

/ March 26, 2016I don’t often use paper towel either – I have quite the collection of cloths, used for one day only (or one use if very messy) and then into the washing machine. Mostly they’re microfibre and not nearly as pretty, but I have one very pretty crochet face cloth made for me by a friend in Germany which makes a wonderful gentle scrubber. It’s a very soft cotton yarn, but she has used a small but nubbly stitch to make it effective, and it has a graduated thread lacy border.

/ March 29, 2016I do the same. You certainly do need a lot on the chance the laundry doesn’t get done one week. 🙂
