Posted by These muslin face cloths have needed replacing for a while.
They’ve gone a lovely shade of grey through many days of makeup and grime removal.
I know they’re clean but they do not look pretty hanging on my washing line.
But these are a vast improvement, don’t you think?
I’ve tried out various crochet stitches using both dishcloth cotton and a softer organic 4 ply cotton.
The dishcloth cotton ones in double crochet were more suited to the dishes than my face! It is hiding in this next shot at the back.
I shall be making up a whole lot more in the soft 4 ply; they are so luxurious to use, they feel like a real treat.
I’ve also taken delivery of a Tunisian crochet hook as I’ve seen some lovely facecloths in Tunisian crochet on Pinterest.
Watch this space.

Much better for the environment than all those face wipes too – although I’m guilty of using them when I’m feeling lazy.

Me too, but only at the gym;)

Very nice! I too love Tunisian crochet, vastly underrated and it just occurs to me that it is an excellent half way house to those who think that knitting is harder than crochet [which it is] or vice versa [which it isn’t] if you see what I mean. You get the best of both and there are some lovely stitches too.

The tunisian crochet is progressing VERY slowly. If I don’t speed up soon, there’ll be only one face cloth using this technique. Do you have any tips for speeding up or will it just come over time?

Truly lovely, I made some little round ones in soft 4 ply cotton for my daughters to use instead of cotton pads, they love them and the fact that they are kinder to the environment than filling up the bedroom bin with used cotton pads.
Oh by the way, we are going to The Old Deanery tomorrow, I have been wanting to treat my lovely hubby and after seeing your post the other day I thought it looked just the ticket. Thanks for the recommendation.

Have a look on my Pinterest board http://www.pinterest.com/ljv72/crochet/. There are some lovely patterns on there. I’ve just looked up that yarn. I’d not come across it here, in the UK, but it looks perfect. Lovely colours and variations.
