Kleaning Kittens Knit Kloths #2

Who doesn't love handmade cotton washcloths? (Or alliteration?) This is the exact same swap as the 1st one, including the wording.

Useful-handmade-pretty-no more nasty sponges...for me it's a win-win-win-win situation! I was introduced to them a few years ago & now I use them in both kitchen & bathroom. At first I was afraid to "waste" them, but now that I know how easy they are to knit...well, why shouldn't we all be using them? Plus all of the fun colors & designs make me happy to look at them in my drawer or on a shelf.

Also, a while ago I received some super-scratchy wool yarn that nobody would want to wear. I knitted a simple rectangle in garter stitch, maybe 4"x6" and started using it in the kitchen as a scrubby...it felted & works pretty well. Every so often I have to take a step-up to a brush or metal one, but not very often. It's great for scrubbing the sink too. The best part...they take no time at all because it's just garter stitch, no thinking required! :)

Here is the swap description:

Make a cotton washcloth/dishcloth & a wool scrubby for your partner, then send it to them. Your swap may be knitted, crocheted, or both...

Please choose a color that your partner likes, at least for the washcloth. You may use any scratchy annoying wool you have for the scrubby. If you do not have scratchy wool you can still make a scrubby cloth...you can add tulle to your fabulous soft wool to make it scratchy. :)

Suggestion: Try a new stitch & make that swatch into a washcloth...I have the Vogue Knitting Stitch-a-Day calendar & have been trying out different stitches. The swatches knit-up to be the size of a small washcloth (perfect for my small hands) & end up being useful if I knit them in cotton.

p.s. This is a shorter time frame than KKKK #1 but since these are 2 small items it shouldn't be an issue.
