Rethink, Reuse and Rejuvenate

South Beach Washcloth Set Free Crochet Pattern from LionBrand.com

Recently, there has been a trend for going back to basics, and handcrafted washcloths and kitchen mats are back big time.  I have to admit, I considered them beginner projects until I participated in a craft swap and a nice woman from TN made some beautiful and colorful kitchen cloths for me. You can create colorful and creative household items with cotton. Wrap a set in a beautiful ribbon that can be reused or recycled and you have an eco-friendly, functional and fun gift.  Cotton is cool - just sayin'.

Lily Dish Mats (Crochet)

Free Dishcloth Patterns: Knitting from Tipnut.com has a wonderful array of dishcloth patterns for you to knit.

Let's rethink, reuse and rejuvenate our surroundings this week and soak up the good vibes.
