Hi Lea, do you loom knit? Terry and I have made scrubbies on the loom. They are quick and easy to do.

I use to have some crochet fruit made from scrubby yarn that i used for kitchen dish cloths. I got them off of amazon. I want to learn how to make things like this for gifts. I am thinking of giving some house warming gifts and this would be awesome to add to it.
