[this is good]
I just signed up! I also went and quickly started my list of links to patterns, I hope its ok I keep them simple but in nice colours, if I am to get them finished in time then i shouldn't get too ambitious...
In this end of the world I can't find anything called "worsted weight" is 4ply cotton OK? I went into a huge craft super store place and they thought I was a bit bonkers when I asked for "kitchen cotton" or cotton that I could knit into tea towels.. (what we call "dish towels") all they had was a really fine knitting cotton... getting an nylon for a scrubbie is also proving interesting.. Any suggestions for alternate materials? Sorry to be a pain.
you are not a pain!

hmmm, I don't want you to have a hard time with this! maybe you could double up the 4-ply? or use wool that would felt up nicely? that would probably work. you could even use acrylic for the scrubbies. this is not apparel, after all, so rough is okay, I think!

but I'm sure whatever you do, it will be fine!
