I think I might be having a minor OCD episode. I can't seem to stop crocheting! I've had this hobby since I was a young child making lopsided blankets for my dollies, scarves for my teddy, and pillows for myself. I sure wish wearing doilies as sweaters was fashionable, because I'd be SET. I made about 100 of them in college. (Mom, Dad, close your eyes and skip to the next paragraph please) When I was working on an afghan for my grandma, I used to actually skip classes to work on it!

How to Make a Reversible Swiffer Sock
November 4th, 2010 Email 317 users recommend This Swiffer sock can be used as a duster (ruffly side), mopper (smooth side), and it fits right over your sweeper. I took the photo on the bottom right just in case you were wondering if it really works—ick! Linda Permann
our recent crappy weather has encouraged some quiet, crafty evenings at home. In going through our supplies, we’ve discovered tons of leftover yarn from previous projects. instead of trying to mix and match it all into one larger thing, we’ve discovered the joys of making little things—projects we can whip up in 30 minutes or so while catching up on flight of the conchords or whatnot… these dish scrubbers are a good example: quick and easy to make, a great use of cotton yarn scraps, and they make great gifts. plus they’re a great alternative to stinky, disposable sponges. use these, toss them in the laundry, and use them again and again and again. have fun! derek & lauren
