Cotton Wash Pad

So...I decided to take a break from the throw and experiment a little. I saw this really cool cotton dish cloth pattern that I just had to try. So I bought some Sugar n' Cream yarn and set out to make it! Except...I got confused... since I just started reading patterns...

So...I decided to make a sponge look-a-like. Enter wash pad!  It was so easy... easier than choosing Geico. All I did was single crochet a few rows making one small rectangle...and then I made another small rectangle of equal size and single crocheted the two together. Ta-da! WASH PAD! 

Eventually...I will be able to read those silly patterns...until then...it is improvised inspiration.

The next improvised creation is going to be a bag based on the Larger the Life bag that appeared in Interwoven Crochet Spring 2007....which I can't actually find. (not for lack of trying). I have some idea's churning in my head...

On a different non-yarn related project, I have potentially developed a new, eco-friendly way to reuse some old t-shirts that I can't bear to get rid of. I am not going to say it just yet...but I am working on a prototype right now...stay tuned!

Happy Hooking!
