Now that the nice electricity men have fixed my electricity, I can post. No, I haven't seen Doctor Who yet, did I mention I had a problem with my electricity? The lights were flicking on and off, the server was rebooting, the microwave didn't have enough power. This was happening since yesterday, though not constantly. I thought it had something to do with the high winds we had yesterday, so I didn't call the electricity people until this morning, when I couldn't cook my breakfast.

Anyway, one of the other things I've done is test-drive my soap saver. Soap savers, actually. I made another one. Hence the Goldilocks Moment - neither one is much good.

The first one, made of 100% cotton multi-stranded twine, is too stiff and thick to let the soap through. One could use it as a scrubbing mitt with liquid soap, but not as an actual soap saver.

So I made another one, out of a bamboo/cotton blend 5-ply yarn (70% bamboo, 30% cotton). This one let the soap through, but it was so stretchy and flimsy that it stretched to twice its length as soon as I started using it. Since it does let the soap through, it is marginally more useful than the first one, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. (The yarn is lovely and soft and I'd happily use it to make something else, but not a soap saver).

So it looks like I need to make that "crochet experiment" tag after all.
I think the next thing I will try is two strands of mercerized cotton.
