Back Scrubber Reviewed by Kathleen Chapman on 2009-05-27 ***
I was very determined to knit this pattern.Read the instructions SERVERAL times, and I DID IT!I used 100% mercerized cotton and prefer circular needle. The pattern came out really well. I learn visually,handicapped by dyslexia, so I wish the photo was larger,so I could see how the finished product SHOULD look! A couple of finishing instructions (handles)not clear, but I have a BACK SCRUBBER! Have started making them as Christmas presents and will couple with jar of homemade sugar scrubs...
