- Crocheted Cotton Pads -

I cannot remember how often I have stood in my bathroom in the evening ready to remove my make-up just to find that I … AGAIN… had forgotten to buy more cotton pads!?
I write this in past tense, because I have replaced them with my own crocheted ones – YAY!!

I came across a yarn blend of 50% linen, 36% cotton & 14% natural silk. The brand is Rosariós4 and the name of the yarn is Príncipe Real.
Not only are they prettier, but also with the linen in the blend, I feel that I get a light exfoliation, which I love.
Please bare in mind that I am not a dermatologist – this is only my personal opinion.

If you too wish to replace your cotton pads with your own OR maybe you are in need of a quick gift, you can find the instructions below.

A friend of mine's 1 old year boy needed bibs while in nursery, and as most store bought bibs look alike, she asked me if I could crochet some, so they would not be mixed with everyone else's - As his name is Marius I thought that a big "M" on the bib definitely would...
