Who doesn’t love a great Pot Scrubber!! The kind that works without scratching your pots, pans, and glassware? Simple to use, toss it in the laundry when it gets grungy!
Today on the virtual knitting circle, I previewed some really interesting yarn that I ordered — specifically made for making pot scrubbers.
You see, a friend recently told me about these great pot scrubbers that she had been getting for years from a knitting friend. I traditionally knit washcloths and pair them with fancy soap. Perfect for hostess gifts, holidays, whenever. But this idea intrigued me. A lot!
My friend Marie and I talked quite a few times, and she talked to her friend, and relayed the message. You see, Marie just loves these pot scrubbers that she gets — uses them, and throws them in the wash. And she always looks forward to her friend’s visits, and getting a new stash of pot scrubbers!
And while Marie’s friend uses tulle strips, I think I have found something that is easier and looks very ” gift-worthy.”
So I ordered it…. not knowing what to expect!
