Trio of Hand Crocheted Sponges

So I have been having so much fun making these hand-crocheted sponges, now that I have tried them once.

I love the look of them, and this is a neat little set of three that coordinate with each other. In this trio, two are made of a blue cotton crochet thread and trimmed out in a verigated cotton thread, The thrid member of the trio is in the vergiated thread, which happens to be white, blue and tan, then it is trimmed out in the solid blue thread. Would be a great set in the kitchen.

The Trio is selling for $10.00, shipping included on my etsy site.

I also have the reverse trio, with two verigated sponges and one solid sponge. I love these sponges for a number of reasons, and eco-friendly is only one of them. They are made of natural cotton thread, they are reusable, just toss them in the washing machine occasionaly and clean away. They are thick and durable and work for any mess. They make a great housewarming gift.

Anyway, check them out and let me know what you think!!

More Yarn Stash

So I got a chance to take some more pictures of some of my cotton yarn stash.

This is a wonderfully soft blue, almost like a washed denim color cotton yarn.
This is a yarn I have had on hand for awhile, so it is not one of the newer organic yarns, but I actually bought it to do as edging on a dishcloth made out of the next yarn.






This is a really neat white to brown to blue verigated yarn. Again, this is one that I have had on=hand for awhile, so it is not one of the newer organic yarns, but I loved the colors.

I was thinking I would make a dishcloth with this and then edge it with the blue pictured above. I tried to match the blue in this yarn to that blue so that it would look neat. I still may make those, have only gotten the one dishcloth done at the moment, but I am hoping to add more later.

Another one of my older yarns, so no it is not an organic, but it is the greatest colors. It is a hot pink to yellow to orange verigated yarn that is just fun.

I just started work on another cell phone case in this yarn, a special request from a friend to carry her pink pearl blackberry in when she has it in her purse. I think it is going to look great.

Remember, any of the yarns in my stash, this post of the previous can be made into a cell phone case, sized to match your phone for only $3.50 and that includes shipping. See previous posts for pictures of cell phone cases already made.
Also, any of these yarns can be used to make dishcloths. Each cloth is a 7 1/2 inch by 7/12 inch square. It can be edged in the same yarn or a coordinating yarn for only $2.00 each, and that includes shipping. Pictures of the dishcloth will be posted soon.

Yarn Stash

I mentioned in my last post, when I talked about the new Cell Phone case, that I had a hugh stash of yarns to use to make this case, well I got a couple, and I mean only a couple of photos done this weekend, what with is being Father's day and all, but at least I got a couple done.

So this is the purple-blue-yellow verigated crochet cotton thread that I used to do the original phone case that I personally carry, and that my good friend Angie now carries.

I love it. I also finished a dishcloth in this color, this yarn that I will be getting photos of and posted soon.

Lime green, how can you not like it?! I have this thing for lime green, I would buy anything in lime green, well almost. This is more of a subtle lime green in that it is not that neon lime green, but more of a soft lime green.

This is another Organic Yarn that I got. I found a place that had some Organic Cotton Yarns, and I placed a big order, think I got five colors altogether in that order, but I want to try organic.

This is a tri-color verigated blend of greens. It starts with a white, then up to a light, not quite lime green, then a medium green and then a darker green. I really love the colors and can't wait to start working with this one.

This is also an Organic Cotton Crochet Thread. My first purchase of Organic Cotton, but I loved the colors and I think it will make a great addition to the line.
