I'm taking a break from the purple and gold sweater to make scrubbies. I've had the nylon yarn for probably 2 months, just haven't made the little things a priority, even though I know the one my son is using is the last of the ones I made last summer and needs to be replaced. But I came in to work this morning and found the sponge that I'd been using to wash dishes full of ink. I work in a place that sells refill cartridges for printers. If I want to wash a cup and fork, I don't want to use that sponge! So a couple of very textured scrubbies suddenly became a priority. They only take a few minutes to make, and last a lot longer than the Scotch Brite type that my husband calls greenies, and may even work better.
