Spiral Scrubbie Translation

[grannyjudith]

This is kind of a translation from a Japanese tawashi pattern

that was translated....Well I guess my crochet version is a translation of the translated knit version............. Sounds like double talk..mmmm.....

Anyway, enjoy........................

Thanx, Judith. I love this pattern.

 

FYI....as a former ad agency owner and copywriter/proof-reader....the correct terminology when translating something from one language into another in written form is called "transcreating". You cannot simply translate written languages as many languages have more than 1 meaning for a word and in most languages the sentence structures are weird (for lack of better terminology). You must re-create the sentence(s) for proper meaning. Like I said, it's weird. Also, The American English language is the most confusing of all languages because of the many meanings of 1 word, the different spellings of words (ie: dear, deer) and our wide use of slang.

I'm glad to see someone elses version of these. I posted my interpretation of the "Tawashi" scrubbie a while back...Took me a bit to post a picture.(glad you posted a picture of the piece before you sew it) Your version is similar. Great job! Love the color of yours.

Thanks for the pattern. I am always looking for new patterns for dishcloths and scrubbies.

i just made this... not sure if i did something wrong or what... but it doesn't look much like the one pictured. did you use 2 different colors? or BLO or something?

 

i used peaches n cream cotton and a g hook.....

I made one last night, too, and it took me FOREVER to figure out the sewing part. Anyways, I thought it looked like BLO so that's what I did, and it does have that spiral type pattern.

 

I love the pattern translation, but I think the stitching together part needs diagrams or something (no offense meant, of course!!).

Very cute.

 

What does Tawashi mean?

I made one from the first pattern posted a while back and it came out small. Did anyone else think they turn out small? Next time I'm going to use a bigger hook and double up the yarn.

This is such an interesting pattern---thanks for "transcreating" and sharing it. Am involved in a scrubbies-for-charity project and am going to make one of these---definitely unique among all that have been submitted so far!

[RebeccaVelasquez]

yes, cheryl, i thought it turned out quite small. MUCH much smaller than i thought it would be.... love it... so i'll definately will do BLO next time... gonna try to find some thicker cotton yarn than peaches and cream for a larger scrubbie... guess i could use 2 strands tog.....
