If you're wanting the kids to not "lose" the soap, crochet a chain to make a handle at the top so they can hang it from the knob.
I think if you change the vocabulary picky people are more excepting. Custom made instead of homemade. Or, it's an original.
People are funny. I have a friend crocheting bags out of plastic bags. 5 years ago she'd have been called nuts. As a matter of fact, her husband called her nuts when she started. That is until she got $20 a bag!
Thanks for the sponge pattern, I'm going to use this one a lot.
Do they work well? I never had a crochet sponge ,,so I have no clue!
I personally like them. Not sure how someone else would, but I like the feel of them, they are thick and soft and I feel like they will stand up to harser scrubbing more than other things.
The best thing is that I just through them in the washer and they are like new again all the time, never that smell of an old sponge.
