What are you currently knitting and crocheting?

Embarrassed I’m Still trying to learn how to crochet, I can make a chain but when it comes to making stuff I can only succeed about 40% of the time. And i’m Able to make a “magic circle” about 70% of the time. But that’s only been whenever i’ve Tried to make a tiny stuffed animal and that’s not often. However I do use embroidery floss instead of yarn because I hate the way yarn feelsEmbarrassed

Soap bags....Anyone made them?

I use these all the time, & they can be fiddly. First, you have to have a way to hang them to dry between uses.
Second, the real key is to squeeze out the water, but leave the soap foam, so they don't get moldy. Also, I use only real soap, not beauty or bath bars, & that makes a difference (to the bag, AND to your skin)
Third, if you want them to stay snug around the soap, you need to use a felt-able wool, not cotton. I prefer a bag that I can pull the soap shards out of, & wash occasionally

Thank you for your reply

I made it for my craft table, I believe it is mean't to be a soap saver, . You can put all your left over pieces of soap in as well as using a new bar in it, made out of cotton but you could also use a 'scrubby' type yarn for exfoliation.
