I made a couple scrubbies for gozer in a private swap. Managed to use up all the scrubby yarn, all the white, and now have just a tiny ball of teal left.
The rectangular one was made by holding 2 strands together, with the first third teal cotton and scrubby yarn. I crocheted until I had something the size of a regular sponge, and ran out with just 2 sc stitches to go, so I switched to the white cotton. I then just kept going until the whole piece was about 3 times as long. Then I folded the extra length twice, till it was a thicker pad, and used the last of the white to do a running stitch around the edge to keep it in that shape.

Is this the one that grows bigger from the corner? I have lots of leftover skeins as well…so starting with the least amount at the beginning and the end might use up more of the smaller skeins…love the stripes you are doing…I would rather have stripes than just continuing until the yarn is gone.
I finally got rid of 3 skeins of lime green acrylic yarn…big skeins. I tried to incorporate into baskets but I can’t, just can’t. Gifted to a grandma to make an afghan for her grandson. Yeah. I may have enough yarn to finish 2 more baskets. I’ve reduced by at least 3/4 of my stash.
Here’s the latest start with a finished basket behind.
I have finished a pair of potholders made in tunisian crochet, I hope I can post them here.
I made a pair some years ago and they are my best potholders! And my mum seemed like she wanted some, but hasnt asked or anything. And this year I decided she will get a pair for her birthday (in september). So now I have been crocheting to get them done! Im not very fond of making them, as its kind of tough on my fingers (and maybe I have a to small hook, and I tense up too much). But they are done and Im happy with them.
I am so terribly behind… only up to end of Feb. And I have realised that I am out of one colour, so after I do another 5 or 6 days, it will need to go back on hold for a bit.
