Hi, hello, how’s it going?

If you’re new here I am Corrine, I knit and crochet, and I design patterns.

Today starts the three part Christmas Dish Scrub series. To kick off the holidays we will be making a Candy Cane Dish Scrub. As I was shopping around Michael’s for yarn to design holiday pieces I saw some Squeaky Clean yarn and had always wanted to try it.

When I finally was able to sit down and work with it, it ended up going so much better than I expected. I thought it would be difficult to see the stitches and hard to work with but it actually was really fun and easy to use.

I am looking forward to making even more dish scrubs in the future.

Like watching video tutorials? I got you. I make left and right handed crochet videos on YouTube.

If you prefer the ad-free PDF you can find it in my Etsy Shop and Ravelry!
