thimbly things

Apparently, Japanese crafty-types like to make their own scrubbies for the kitchen sink.  And the bathroom.  And their faces.  And everything else!

I was alerted to this trend in the latest issue of Craft.  And so… I now present…

My Very First Tawashi!!!  (Extra exclamation points make this feel more authentic, don’t you think?  And I’m not sure how to pluralize “tawashi,” but I actually made two…)

I made a plain blue one and an orange one that was begging to have a leaf added to it.  They now reside prettily on the windowsill above the sink.  And are just aching to get egg and cheese ground into their fresh, acrylic fibers.

These were quick to make and quite satisfying.   Thanks again, Narumi!
