String Soap Saver Bag
Designed by Julie A Bolduc
This soap saver bag is made from standard kitchen cotton string. It is fast and easy to make and you could use Speed Cro Sheen instead of string to make it. I had some left over kitchen string from when I measured out my garden, so I decided to use it up for this pattern.

Random Quick Tip!
Keeping TrackThis is one hint I really have used. I use a plastic bread tab to mark rows on an afghan. It helps me to keep count. So much cheaper than the commercial ones. You can use several and place one every 5 rows to keep track where you are in your pattern.
