Watermelon Kitchen Scrubbie

So this is another version of the kitchen flower scrubbie I made a while back.  Although this is the same pattern, it turned out completely different so I had to re-post it.  I used a red nylon scrubber, some green and white yarn and a little black thread for the seeds and turned it into a watermelon!
