tawashi!
Today I crocheted my first tawashi, Japanese word for scrubbing brush. The knitted kind are made from acrylic yarn and work exceptionally well for dish washing. I got the pattern from here (warning: the instructions are in Japanese). I tried it out this evening and it works great!, but found that it was a bit small (no surprise there, since most things from Japan are small). So I might make 3 more and stitch them all together to make a bigger square.
