Making things is green too!

Green thing #8- Making Stuff!

Greg and I both like to make our own stuff and presents for others.  I am currently making dish clothes.  If you know how to knit or crochet they are super easy and fast. 

But don't forget to buy yarn that is locally grown cotton (at least in the USA), and it is more green if it is organic, non bleached and non dyed.  This is a little harder to find but it is out there.  You can also buy the material or the finished product from green websites. I do not use a pattern for my rags since it is just a square or rectangle. 

These also make great gifts.  With Christmas right around the corner this is perfect when you don't have the money but still want to show someone that you care. 

Remember... Use these instead of paper towels =)
