Quick, Practical and Useful(?)

I seem to run out of the commercial sponge cloths and scrubs fairly quickly, so I had been wanting to try out some knitted one. So I knitted up this set yesterday.
I don't know the exact names for them. The larger one (washcloth/dishcloth/whatever) is intended for wiping the kitchen counters etc. The smaller one is a doubled up st st piece with purl side out, intended for washing the dishes. I used Peaches and Creme (and nylon thread for the second one). I will try them out in the morning, inshaAllah.
We also had a little celebration as my "not-so-little" son turned five yesterday, mashaAllah.

    I really love my knit dish towels and I think they work better than the regular ones. They are knit in garter stitch. I too have a 5 year old. She thinks being 5 makes are knowledgeable in all things, LOL.

    Those are great! I have crocheted towels and cloths, would love to have knitted ones!! I envy you for having access to nylon thread to work with. I have been looking for nylon thread or cord to crochet with for a while now, and still hadn't found it. The scrubber looks amazing!

    The garter stitches just scrub better than commercial sponges!

    He is so handsome! Quite the young man already!

    I knit dishcloths and use them all the time. I've never tried adding nylon for a scrubby, but what a good idea! I do use lace or textured stitch patterns for their scrub-power, though.

    Your children are lovely. Happy birthday, yong man! :)
