Pure cotton - pure wool - pure living

It might have something to do with getting older. It might have something to do with consience. It might have something to do with ideals.

Guess it is simply about making a decision and sticking by it!

I know how to knit, crochet and all that. I can knit beautiful sweaters and cardigans - all of it things to wear.

But why not try to make something that doesn't end up in the closet.

I started making baskets, I even made some gorgeous rugs, but lately I have been making dish cloths.

Sounds utterly boring right? But I got tired of the dish cloths made out of some kind of plastic. Yes they are out of a kind of plastic, eventhough they are nice and soft. There are small plastic parts in there.

I found some nice 100% cotton yarn when I last visited my mom in Denmark

So now the  dish cloths are being made. The lavender one is already done, now the coral one is on the way - I want 10 or 12 of the cloths. One for each day - and enough so that I don't have to wash every day.

Being pure cotton means they can be washed on 60 degrees Celcius - meaning they get clean. And they suck all the water up from my kitchen table when I do the dishes.

I do so like my dish cloths. And it's all about making a decision. I want to get rid of as much plastic as ever possible. I'm in no way a fanatic - but I will work hard to get rid of it.
