Bohemian Bluestocking

Tawashi are the very cute little Japanese scrubbies -- knitted with anti-bacterial yarns (there are two sites on Etsy, here and there,  where you can find them. There are lots(!) of pattern books out there, mostly crochet, but a few knitted ones as well. 

The end result is I have gone tawashi-crazy. All orphaned plant-based yarns in the stash are being knit up into tawashi. I have joined Tawashi-Town at Ravelry. I have done a Tawashi Swap (thanks RhondaB in Seattle for the swag!) The finished tawashi have started to pile up (there's a good sized plastic bin full). I talk about it my knitting group. I talk about them at my LYS's.

I knit, eat, sleep Tawashi.

I have started to think about designing them. I'll keep you posted as to ideas.
