Ah Bin Crafty

I made something useful! Something I have been wanting for AGES. A soap saver.



I looked at about four different patterns and devised my own. Though I pulled apart the first attempt and started again.

This crochet stuff is pretty AND useful!

I think some people are going to be getting soap savers for Christmas.

How does it save soap? Not deliver as much? I know Americans make lots of these and dish cloths in cotton; in fact they even buy special cotton for the purpose.

I don't use hard soap myself now but a very pure liquid castile soap.

It's for hard soap. When you get to the point where the cake of soap has worn down to a little piece, which makes it hard to use, you put it inside the bag. So the bag gets full of little pieces of soap. Then when you wet the bag, it's like a self-soaping wash cloth.

It saves soap because it enables you to use the little pieces of soap which you might otherwise be tempted to throw away.

Oh, I see! Maybe I should make Greg one.
