Believe it or not, we Queens do have dirty
dishes. It does not mean, we can’t do them, or have them done in style.
So I crochet tulle dish scrubbers to match my
Castle’s kitchen. My Sometimes King John boyfriend does the hand washing
and the Queen loads the dishwasher. I do chores for majestic fun
sometimes.
And I’ve been very frustrated trying to teach
myself the ins and outs of this blogging stuff, so I decided to do this post.
The Queen WILL get it, or will find a loyal subject to help. So
bear with me while I learn, and then I’ll share some of my thoughts and
creations.
Here is how I did the scrubbers:
I
started with a roll of 6″ brown tulle and a large crochet hook. I began
with 5 chain stitches and joined them to form a circle. Then I began
doing single crochet in the circle as many as would comfortably fit. (The
King doesn’t like his fingers poking through the holes…off with his head!)
Sorry, I digress…
On the next row, put the needle through the
top loop of the previous row’s stitches and repeat as for the first row.
At this point it begins to roll in slightly. To help flatten it
out, I used a single crochet, chain stitch, single crochet, chain stitch
pattern on the 3rd row. I then closed the crochet by pulling a long
length (6 feet or so) to use to weave in and out of the holes in the crochet.
Remember, we want the King’s fingers happy, so we want to fill in gaps.
When you’ve done that, tie off the tulle and cut off any excess.
Final result:
A crude, but very
effective dish scrubber. And one that matches the kitchen.
