I also knit my own dishrags, and we only use cloth napkins. Have been ever since I moved out of my parent's house. If I have time I make them with my serger, but my sister gave me a bunch of hers when she got a new table (what that had to do with needing new napkins I don't know) and my uncle gave me all of his after my aunt died. So it will be a while before I need to make any. We don't use placemats or tablecloths at the dinner table, but I kept all my sister's old tablecloths and the kids use them for picnics & teaparties.

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 Amy, I crochet my own dish 'rags' as we call them. And I make them for friends who prefer them to store bought. They are great for scrubbing and they dry so much faster and never have a sour odor. I use cotton yarn to make wash cloths. They are not only beautiful but work great for defoiliating(is that the right word/sp?) LOL)The crochet wash cloths are a great gift to put in a basket with body wash or special soap.I also use cloth napkins. I buy mine at the thrift store sometimes for pennies. I also buy my bath towels at ARC, usually for less than $3 a piece. Many are brand new store donated with very odd designs and colors but you can't beat the price. I needed a shop apron this week for a pottery class and I found a brand new one at the ARC for $1.17. I love a bargain and love doing a small but good thing for our Earth. Today I am making my recipe for wheat germ and oatmeal burgers/patties. My niece taste tested them yesterday and she loved them. I like them better than any I have ever made. Make a good day Smiles and hugs coming your way Deanna -- In , akfral wrote: > > In a message dated 6/11/2006 10:12:29 P.M.
