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!!

Hand Crocheted Sponge and Soapy

I have no idea if what I made is even done with a "legal" crochet stitch, but I did use a crochet hook and crochet cotton thread, and so I am calling it crocheted. I have no idea of the stitches and can't read a pattern to save my life, but I hope this looks good to everyone else.

First is a hand-crocheted sponge. This is a double thickness rectangle that has been crocheted, then later crocheted together. The sponge measures 5 1/4 inches across and 3 3/4 inches high.

This one is done in the yellow-orange-pink verigated cotton crochet thread. This is a bright fun color, great for everyone. Want it in a different color, check out my earlier posts for yasrns in my stash for a custom order.


Next we have what I am calling a Soapy. It is two rectangles of cotton yarn crocheted together, almost like the sponge above, but one end is left open to allow for a bar of soap to be slipped in between the two layers of crochet cotton.

This is perfect for washing younger kids, as the bar of soap can be slipped into the soapy, wet and then rubbed over the child. This keeps the bar of soap together, no matter how small it gets, and the soapy can be thrown in the washing machine anytime needed.

The soapy measures 5 1/2 inches across and 3 3/4 inches high, which fits a standard bar of soap. This particular one is again made with the pink-yellow-orange verigated cotton thread. Want another color, check previouis posts for yarn stash for a custom order.

Both the Sponge and the Soapy are priced at $3.00 each, with shipping to the US included. Shipping to canada, please add 50 cents. Want it shipped worldwide, ask me for exact costs.

Handknitted Kitchen Set

Been working hard lately, and I am adding some more things to the "a TAMM creation" line. Some of this is in prep for the Fall Festivals that will be coming up and I am thinking of doing the one in Ellettsville again this year, and possibly the one in Stinesville too.

This is a kitchen set. It is a hand-knitted dishcolth and a hand-knitted sponge.
The dishcloth measures 8 inches by 7 inches. The sponges is a double thickness and measures 6 inches across by 3 3/4 inches high.

Both are hand-knitted with a cotton crochet thread, so they are completely machine washable, you can even bleach them, but the colors will fade with bleaching. They will last longer than the store bought sponges, and are more enviormentaly friendly. This one in particular is made with the blue to yellow to purple verigated cotton thread.

Priced at $4.00 for the set, and that includes shipping in the US, for shipping to Canada, please add 50 cents. I am willing to ship worldwide, but the cost for that would be the exact cost of shipping, nothing more, just ask.

Can be custom made in other colors, see other posts about the colors of yarns in my stash for custom orders.
