Dishcloths and Swiffer Shrugs

[jeannie1205]

Here are a few things I whipped up last night and today. The dishcloths are made in Tunisian Crochet. The green/camel one is my first attempt at entrelac. The second is tunisian simple stitch bordered with sc.

 

Went to Walmart yesterday and was shocked at the price for the swiffer refills so I decided to use up some of my yarn and made up the following two shrugs. I used the green one and it works great. I love the fact you can flip it inside out and use that side before having to wash. I used Biffer shrug from Gherkin's bucket pattern. I used sugar/creme and peaches & creme cotton yarns for these items.

Great idea for the swiffer clothes. Think I'll try that. I hate having to pay their high costs for something I don't think works that good to begin with. I will definitly try these.

Love the nice colors you used!! I threw my swiffer away somewhere it got clogged and I couldnt get it to work anymore.So just went back to the old fashion way sometimes with a mop or hands and knees.

I love both the dishclothes & the Biffer shrug. I made a shrug myself just a couple of weeks ago. I've used it once already & love it. I think it will work even better when I get the refill bottle that goes inside. Right now I'm havng ro ring them out by hand which isn't all that easy. But much better than spending the high cost of cloths. BTW, my DD says the Swiffer pads are really diapers in disguise....

I'm with you; I never buy swifter covers since I have made my own and they do a better job too. I even made the duster that you put on the top to reach the corners of the ceiling. They would make a great shower gift basket.

 

Nice job!

I love those! I'll have to make a few too. I agree they want too much money for these refills.
