I received a wonderful swap package from @geekgirl today! Not one but TWO Swiffer covers.
I immediately put the green one to use, and it works like a dream. My kitchen floor thanks you.
And so do I — Thanks so much! I love them and they will be well-used!

That trivet is GORGEOUS! Yarn colors are so pretty! And I had to laugh about the dishcloth comment. Great swap package!

I definitely plan on making some for myself. Using bits of left over yarn.
It’s called a crunch stitch. It’s a half double crochet, slip stitch alternated all the way across.
Pretty much using this method but using hdc, slip, etc instead of sc, dc, etc.

Those napkins are beautiful!
Do the wraps hold their shape in the fridge? I still have a large block of beeswax and have always wanted to make some.

Well… the wraps were actually a fail! I used the wrong type of beeswax. The natural beeswax in a big block should work, I think. The YouTube video I was following said to melt the wax, paint the wax on, and then place other (unwaxed) fabric pieces wraps above and below. Sandwich the whole thing between 2 sheets of parchment paper, then iron (no steam). I sent some ties along, so she could secure them better.

Ooh! I’m just getting to the gallery to do some posting and I just saw the other packages here.
A few comments before I post my amazing discloths:
Those swiffer covers look amazing, @geekgirl Like they’d really pick up the crumbs! Much better than the stupid disposable ones.
@endymion Those beeswax wraps look awesome and those fabric napkins are to die for. The fabrics you chose are great.
I received these two awesome discloths from @mel. The texture is amazing! One is brown and red and the other is multi-colored. Both will work out great in my kitchen.
And the amazing texture close up on the multicolor one:
Thank you so much for putting together such a fun swap, Mel!
