Still Stashbustin'! - TAWASHI!!!!

Tawashi! 

That word always makes me think of either sushi or something you would have heard yelled by one of the actors on those old Godzilla movies. It just makes me giggle. The word is Japanese for any type of scrubbie. The acrylic ones like this can be used in the kitchen for general cleaning or in the bath tub for bubble time fun.

I've been trying my best to clean out a closet that is filled with partial skeins of yarn of various colors/type so tawashi are the perfect small project to do just that! Using this pattern, I made these three little guys one afternoon while watching a movie. I think the finishing work takes longer than the actual hooking or maybe I just hate the clean up at the end. ;)
This project is perfect for a person new to crochet who is looking to push themselves just a tiny bit as well as a quick project. Go ahead and give it a try!
