If one can have a Menger Sponge, then why not a Menger Washcloth to complete the set? Yes, this pattern appeals to my inner geek as well as the part of me that loves a play on words. Makes about an 8-inch square washcloth/dishcloth. The texture variations make for an efficient cleaning surface, and plus the pattern looks good on both sides!
