Soap Sock for Scraps

Are you a soap scrap saver?

I found that I started to save these a few years ago, determined that there is a practical, frugal use for them, as yet undiscovered by myself.

They happened to look appropriate in an old blue glass canning jar on the shelf of my exclusively blue and white bathroom.

(This photo is taken in our yellow kitchen.)

One thrifty option I found was a soap sock on some pattern sights for knitting. 

Bingo...? 

I'm not thoroughly convinced, but I've made my first one.  I shall try this and find out.

Be sure to use 100% cotton thread

I had aquired two other soap sock patterns, however because I am a novice knitter, I found them a little too tricky for me and made up my own pattern.

Remember, I'm no proffessional.  Whatever you're left with, just knit.

Being 100% cotton, you just throw these in the wash with the rest of your laundry.  No special treatment required.  I love that!
