Oh my God, I am sooo close...

Because I need something else to distract me from studying

to emagee: absolutely. I have a stitch pattern in mind, I just need to figure out how to make the pocket for the duster wand.

would acrylic yarn work for dishcloths? i have a ton of it and its not my cup of tea.

i have made monster vomit scarves with my scrap yarn fabric nick nacks sewing notions pelts and my kids toys it definetly clears the clutter

I think acrylic would work fine for dishcloths.  I don't know if I would want to use acrylic for a facecloth, though.  It seems like it would be able to get rid of dirt and food and whatnot.

I have set aside a chunk of my stash that I must use until buying anything else.  I have mostly been making facecloths and scarves.   

If you use acrylic be ready to wash after one use. I read somewhere that is harbors mold like nothing else. If you want something fast for your acrlyic, maybe make squares for the warm-up america project?

Yes, the acrylic works great, and I was skeptical. It works so well, I am going to see if I can make replacement heads for me duster wand.

Yay more west Michigan people!

Thats the knitted version!

That's an amazing idea. I over-Swiffer, I think. (But it's SOO worth it!)
If I could crochet, I would make like 10 of those.

The basic pattern is actually knitted. I crocheted the "handles" because that was what kbauer did, and it is fast. But there is no reason you couldn't do them in some garter stich, just make sure you have button holes!
