I’ve been wanting to try and be more eco friendly around the house so I had a think about where I could make some easy initial changes. The Kitchen seemed like the best place to start as we use so much kitchen roll clearing up simple things and most of the cloths we already have are synthetic microfibre cloths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve chosen the simplest start I could find in my stash (also trying to save for a house!), a free pattern from Stitch and Story<\/a> for some cotton wash cloths (link here<\/a>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can see I half-heartedly started this when the yarn first arrived about 2 months ago, Each of the 3 cloths are done in a different stitch and they’re quite small so it should be varied enough and quick enough to stop me getting bored. They are also simple enough that I should be able to pick up the odd row while the boys are up and about in the day \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well here I am about 2 hours later (I kind of decided to finish the last 2 episodes of Sweet Tooth while stitching \ud83d\ude01, Season 2 can’t come quick enough for me!), not bad for someone who hasn’t picked up a crochet hook properly in about 6 months. I’d really like to finish the first cloth tomorrow but life with 2 wee ones is unpredictable, fingers crossed \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So after doing a couple of double bedtimes due to Will’s work and a golf outing I decided to take an evening to myself. I fancied wandering down to the local caf\u00e9\/bar, getting a glass of wine and some snacks and crocheting the evening away listening to one of my favourite youtubers: Leo Moracchioli (Frogleap Studios)<\/a>. Nothing like a glass of red and a metal cover of Dance Monkey \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n
