More soap savers! Destashing!
Soap savers are wonderful for destashing purposes. I'm still trying to perfect the pattern -- or rather, the number of stitches needed, and whether I should knit or crochet them -- but I think I'm getting closer!
This is a bag made by chaining 11 stitches, 10 sc, then -- without turning -- make 10 sc in the other side of those stitches. Join into a round. 10-12 rounds of sc, then sc-ch2-skip next 2 sc-sc in next sc, repeat around. Two rounds of sc on the top. Ch-40 for a drawstring.
It seems really small, but with as much as cotton stretches when it's wet, it seems to fit my handmade soap just fine. Crochet is scrubby and provides some nice structure, so I'm finding it much better than knitting right now. We'll see how these hold up; I'll report back in after a few days of usage.
This was also a destashing project -- I was able to destash the last 39g of my kitchen cotton on this project. Considering that I've brought 2000g of yarn into the house this year, and haven't finished any projects (so I haven't been able to mark anything off the stash list), anything is good!
