Lisa's Crocheted Dish Cloth - Scrubbers

Our wonderful Lisa Parker had a free blog giveaway back a while ago. The giveaway was a crocheted dishcloth scrubber, and I was the lucky winner. Since then I have happily used my pretty blue dishcloth a few times now, and it is holding up great and does a great job cleaning. Here you see me scrubbing a fry pan that I had made turkey bacon in. I am very happy with the quality and job it does.



They are made from echo-friendly 100% cotton yarn. They feel and work great, and launder up beautifully too! I do believe it will last longer than my regular store bought dish clothes, and I plan on replacing my old ones with these new ones.
I strongly recommend Lisa's crocheted Dish Clothes and encourage you stop by her etsy shop.
Be sure to check out Lisa's Blog, she has wonderful giveaways twice a month, and she is really on the ball and posts often.
