I was so excited when I found this awesome
pattern for a crochet shower scrubbie. Every month, I replace ours and I thought it would be so cool to just have one I could throw in the wash every week instead.
It was super easy to make. I loved the pattern. But the next morning in the shower I was holding a 10-pound ball of wet cotton yarn in my hand. It's not so "scrubbie" as the plastic netting scrubbies, and it just gets WAY too waterlogged.
The picture above is after I attempted to use it. It was a little more frilly before. I will say, it makes an awesome brain shape. In a pink and/or red, with maybe a little blue thrown in, it could look really gruesome.
$1 per month in shower scrubbies isn't a huge expense, but it irks me to pay that much for a scrubbie when they're made of a penny's worth of materials. I know I can make my own, but I won't because I'm just throwing them out. I want to come up with something reusable (that isn't a wash cloth).
Hmmmmm ... Maybe if I crochet it out of crochet cotton thread ... maybe that would work.
