Knitted scrubby

 
I have found this new cool way of making dish scrubbies!
 
I took pictures because it is easier to show than tell.
 
I use the smallest of the 4 looms that you buy in the pack (it has 24 pegs)
 
I cut up netting (buy it for .95 cents a yard) in one inch strips tie the ends together and roll a ball.
 
  
Do the first 2 rounds and knit off with just the yarn.
 pull as you knit off and again after you move the loops down to get rid of all the excess
 then add the netting and wrap it around the yarn as you go to make another lap
 this is the full lap
 knit off and do it again.
 and again and again you need a total of 9 (2 just yarn and 7 with netting)
 Do one last lap with just the yarn and knit it off.
 Pull the bottom up and put that bottom set of loops over the pegs.
 tie off the ends
 Cut your yarn with about 3 inches remaining.
 Hide the ends.
 Knit off
 cut another peice long enough to go half way around
 Bind off on this yarn
 Pull tight and tie a knot.
 Hide ends
 
I take my ends half way around each way so they come out the same hole on the other side and cut them off.
 
 
Row 1&2:starting at peg 1, with a single strand of yarn, knit (e-wrap) around entire loom.
Row 3-9: knit (e-wrap) with yarn and netting
Row 10: knit (e-wrap) with yarn only
 
bind off
