Keeping it clean...

Some different colrs I've made the Sacks.

I've just purchased some cotton yarn and a cotton/linen blend yarn from Knitpicks.com and have been in a frenzy, knitting washcloths and Sudsy Soap Sacks (a personal creation of mine!).

Example of a Sudsy Soap Sack, with a bar of soap inside.

The idea is to eliminate that pesky slippery bar of soap by stuffing it in the Sack. Also, the Sack acts as a washcloth, sudsing up nicely and continuously as you scrub. You can use the drawstrings to hang it up in the shower to dry.

I absolutely LOVE the CotLin yarn, it comes in so many beautiful colors. I've also used it to knit up a sweet little summer dress for my daughter, who is currently 9 months old. It's an excellent swimsuit coverup, or just something to wear on any sunny Florida summer day!

I'm going to try my hand at tatting next, I've already got my supplies ordered from The Tatting Corner.com and I can't wait! Thanks to Bridal D.I.Y.'s youtube how to video, I know it'll be a breeze to tat my first....whatever I decide my first project will be. It's such a beautiful craft, and unfortunately a lost one, but I hope to revive some interest in this gorgeous knotting tradition.

As always, my motto:

You just never know unless you try.

So, here's to everyone giving it a try!
