Dishcloths


These are a perfect way to replace dishcloths for plastic free July.  I started using these last year for plastic free July, they work just as good as other sponges then when they get a bit yucky just put them in the wash, dry and they are ready to use again. Also a great way to save money on all of those sponges too - win for you and a win for the environment.

I remember knitting dishcloths as a kid, they were the first thing I made when I learn't to knit. My Nan bought me the cotton yarn and then I gave her a couple of the finished dishcloths.
Such a great beginners project, thanks for sharing at Handmade Monday :-)

Awh cool, that's a good idea I should get my oldest to knit some. So lovely of you to give your Nana a few of the finished dishcloths and nice of her to buy the cotton yarn. Did your Nana teach you how to knit? Mine taught me how to knit when I was about 8.
Awh thanks, thank you for letting me share my projects on Handmade Monday - I love seeing everyone's projects and what you have been up to :-)
