While deciding which way to run with this project, I came up with numerous really fun ideas... but, when it came to actually making them, I knew I wouldn't use any of them. I like my dish cloths simple. Simple is practical! Practical is useable!! The Red Heart Scrubby Cotton works WONDERFUL for this project. The yarn is really easy to work with. I love how well the cotton washes up and I love the vibrant colors available.
This is as simple as making two grannie squares and sewing them together, but it looks far more elaborate and beautiful when it's done. Two simple but beautiful sunburst granny squares make for the foundation of the bag, but it can be customized in so many ways. The strap is a basic I-cord, which can be color coordinated, but you can also experiment with leather etc. The lining is optional but I highly recommend the lining, which is also a free and fairly simple tutorial.

At a garage sale, I scored a crocheted piece that I perceived to be a rectangle shawl, but could have been a table runner. It was comprised of two large granny squares seamed together with a single crochet join. While I was not crazy about the colors and there was some paint that got on it at some point, I was in love with the idea, and took it home as inspiration for this shawl.
