Not absorbent, but scrubs like nothing I’ve ever seen. Especially good if you have any of that leftover baby yarn with the fine thread woven in. Texture is everything.
And in case you’ve guessed my secret, yes, this was going to be a baby blanket gift originally. But I *hate* patterns that expect me to evenly join a bunch of squares, because I can’t. So instead, I scrub pots with them, muttering to myself, “I hate dried on food AND crocheted squares!! I don’t care which one of you disintegrates first! You both deserve it!” Maybe that’s over the top. But maybe it’s not.

I was never a fan of making lots of squares and putting them together…until I found the flat braid crochet method for joining! WOW! Works up beautifully. I used it to put together an afghan our prayer shawl ministry made. It was an afghan with squares made by everyone – some were knit, some crochet. I just single crocheted around all the squares first, then used this flat braid method – whoo hooo! Opens up a world of possibilities.
LOL! You should see my “granny square crocheted by drunk monkeys with their feet” project.
you continue to crack me up!
