I don’t know if it was the small hook that I used or the shape of the work, but my hands got really tired about half-way through this project. I had to wait until the next day to resume but it turned out pretty cute! Have not used it yet to wash dishes but that is what I made it for…

3/8/11 update: I do not like this very much for washing dishes. Provides zero suds, is heavy and feels like a wet ball if yarn in your hand (well, I guess because it is!) Not so good for getting the dishes clean and takes a long time to dry, even when hung up on the faucet. So cute though I would like to find another use for it!
