Going Green!

I admit that is has been awhile since I have posted on this site. If you have noticed any of the other sites (Custom Cakes 4 You, Robeson County 4-H, 4-H in Italy) I work on you might guess why. However for those of you who know me you know I like to be crafty and so even with all my other pursuits you are probably guessing I have been up to something. I have been up to a big something but it can't be unveiled until later (don't want to ruin the surprise).

In the meantime I had a little spare time on my hands and did a little green knitting. No I don't
mean the color of the yarn I mean knitting something that will cut down on waste and is recyclable. I knitted a floor duster cover. I knitted it with cotton yarn and it is very soft. The knit one pearl two knit one rows create ridges that trap the dust and dirt. When the cover gets full you can turn it inside out and continue. When you are finished dusting with it instead of throwing it out you just toss it in the washing machine, wash and dry it and use it again. Is that green or what!
I am thinking I might need a few of these, and I have friends who might need some stocking stuffers this year...what a great gift!
