Japanese scrubbers

There's a Japanese craft book series I absolutely love! "Magic Scrubbies". As far as I know they are at number 8. Each book comes with easily crocheted scrubbies for every possible household need. (Part 2 has pattern for 150 different scrubbies, washcloths, sponge covers and what ever...)

Here's some copies to give you the idea...

Part 7 is especially for kids - you crochet different animals and toys that are actually scrubbers, so your daughter will learn to love to clean already at the age of three :-)


You can't deny the joy of cleaning radiating from these women! First they crocheted the cute happy colored scrubbies and then off they were scrubbing, scrubbing, scrubbing - bathtubs, windows, mirrors, kitchen, even cars! And when that is done, they can scrub the floors! All this is obviously the best fun the ladies know, and see how spotless everything is. They are scrubbing even when everything is so spotless and dustfree as can be, that is how much they love to scrub with these colorful, fun scrubbers! Magic...
