You can also do the knotting method to create yourself a scrubber if you don't crochet. Just combine a few nets together by tying them in knots and then bunch it all together with more knots. It's a free scrubber and works just as well or better than a store bought greenie! @Green Joe:

If I were more into crocheting, I would definitely try this out. How well does it hold up as a pot scrubber? This is a pretty cool idea, and looks neat too.

I'd like to see something similar with beer can plastic ties... although many beers are available in card boxes these days. It’s a very creative use of a very annoying bit of plastic.

Our lettuce comes wrapped in plain plastic (nice huh?) but I buy really big sacks of apples that have the BEST netting. I just use the pullstring on them to make a simple yoyo-type scrubby pad out of them. I swear, they work better than any commercial scrubber on the market and last forever! What an awesome idea!
