Household Items

Knit fabrics are very versatile for household items. They can be soft for draping, textured for scrubbing, or thick and sturdy for long wear. I have made rugs, dishcloths, tea cozies, place mats, bags of various types, and many other items. Let me know if you are looking for a particular type of household item.


Regular Household Items

Regular household items may be in stock in some colors and sizes. If I don't have the color and size you want, I can create a new item just for you. Please see how to order household items.


knitted washcloths in various colors

Knitted Washcloths

approx. 9 1/2"
$3.00
These can be knitted in a variety of colors; please ask about available choices. They are a sturdy cotton, but light enough to dry quickly and be easy on your hands. Several of them bundled together make a great gift!
I usually knit them with 2 strands of cotton for superior wiping-up strength; but on request I can knit them with a single strand for a cloth that dries more quickly.

grocery bag holders in various colors

Grocery Bag Holder

7" wide x 19" long
$14.00
I can knit these in almost any color imaginable! For an extra charge, I can also do stripes or other color patterns. Just let me know what you're interested in.
I could also vary the size for special uses. They'd be great for transporting shoes. Just tie one end securely, and carry by the other end.

Custom Household Items

Some of the custom household items pictured below are one-of-a-kind creations. Others can be reproduced on request. These photos offer just a few possibilities for your special item.


If you see something you really like, find out how to order custom household items. The Special Knits page also includes some one-of-a-kind items that are still available.


golf club covers with pompoms

Golf Club Covers

The colors and pompom style were specifically requested by the customer. I'm also happy to do more traditional golf club covers with 1, 2, 3 and 4 stripes to distinguish between clubs. Almost any colors are possible.

crochet sunflower pillow

Sunflower Pillow

This giant crocheted sunflower was hand-stitched to a dark green pillow. The customer had asked me to duplicate a crocheted sunflower in a wall hanging he had had for years.

tea cozy in cabled patterns

Tea Cozy

A hand knit Aran or fisherman style tea cozy, done in acrylic for easy washing. I could also knit it in wool for those who don't mind hand-washing, and prefer wool's superior insulating qualities.
