My mop and I have had a hate like relationship. I hate to clean, I hate my mop, but I like a clean floor. Every few months I’ve been getting a new mop in the hopes that I’ll end up with a clean floor. Yes, I know I need to use the mop…

The mops have all been woefully inadequate. They don’t work well, they seem to just be vehicles to sludge dirty water around on the floor. Then covered in dog hair so fast and it doesn’t want to come off. My dog must have some kind of magical hair, it sticks in and stays. Then I have to try to find a new replacement head but in that time, the manufacturers have decided to discontinue the mop or I have to special order the head because stores are only carrying the full mop assembly.

I don’t enjoy cleaning enough to put up with this. Ok, I don’t enjoy cleaning at all!

Then I read This post at Bron’s Blog. She has a Wet Jet and made a pad for it. It was one of those slapping the forehead kind of moments for me. I never wanted to buy a wet jet. You buy all those pads and throw them away, mother nature weeps… The bottles of cleaner I can refill, that wasn’t a problem, it was the pads. Really, how well can a little paper pad do anyway?

Thanks to Bron, I ran out, bought a wet jet and that night crocheted a little pad for it.

It was incredibly fast to crochet with some cheap kitchen cotton. It works like a dream! Bron is a genius!

If you want to make one too, I just crocheted til it was big enough and then I made a pocket on one side so it went over the end. There are little velcro bits on the bottom that hold it, but it felt like it needed a little pocket. I have some serious scrubbing to do and the pocket makes me feel secure. The side without it stays well too but I’ll probably make a pocket on that side. It was just more awkward because it has that giant “scrubber” thing.

I’ll be making a few more for me and for my Mom. Hopefully this will be the last mop thing I’ll need to own.

G is for GREEN.
There is no doubt about it, G is for GREEN.
And when in doubt, always choose GREEN.
Soon here in the north we will once again have GREEN and that will be a beautiful thing.

There is an update today and a special little something. It will only be announced when the update is done and to the notify list. So if you’re not on the list, hop on fast.

The biggest bunch of today’s update is a new fiber I’ve been dyeing. I got 2lbs to dye a sweater for myself and realized that you needed this too. This is what I dyed for me:

I have more for you. It will be up this afternoon.

And then I have a bit of administration news. I’ve been procrastinating on it but with another postal increase coming in a month, I have to do it. I have to raise the price of club. If you’re already in club don’t worry, I’m not changing your price. Any new club members signing up after April 7th will be charged the new costs. If you cancel your club and sign up again, I can’t guarantee the old price. There will be only the sign up buttons available and none for the old price.

Speaking of price changes… There will also be new prices on the fibers starting the 7th as well. Not all fibers will change but a good number of them are. So today’s update is the last one at the old prices.
