Useful knits

I have been knitting Swiffer covers lately. We're in 'green' mode at our house right now. So I had some cotton yarn in my stash and found this pattern for the mop covers. Pretty nifty really. Of all the mop covers out there, this one is simple and well thought out. No buttons, no funny stitch patterns, and the stitch pattern it does have makes it good at its job. I've knit a couple now, one to wash, one to use. The seed stitch really lets it scrub the tile floors pretty well. It's done a good job on doggy paw prints and kitty yak remains. I have one of the Swiffers (ok, I think mine may actually be the Clorox brand) that has the squirty juice sprayer on the front, so I've been able to use it to really mop, not just dust off, the floors. I actually think I may not ever have to use a mop and bucket again! (crosses fingers)
