Over the past few weeks, I have been doing quite a bit of crochet, making gifts for loved ones. I started off inspired by this book, full of vintage-inspired patterns and ideas:
but then also came across this pattern by Pammy Sue (great pattern, thanks so much for sharing):
so now for a gallery of potholders, some from the book pattern, some from Pammy Sue's pattern, and some are a hybrid of the two...
I think the red and white ones look quite festive together...
Pink ones a bit more summery perhaps...
The collection together...
a few gratuitous macro-shots...
I so love making these, so easy to pick up and put down, and I love that in an evening or two I can complete a project, and make some progress with my gift list.
At the moment I am making some autumn-coloured cushions, will hopefully be able to share a few photos soon. Crochet really suits me especially when I am on a hectic schedule (as I am at the moment) so easy to pick up and put down.
Have a lovely evening, Helenxx
Love these! I get into "potholder mode" every now and then too and can't stop! Thanks for the linky-loo... :)
ReplyDeleteI would be very pleased to receive one of these as a gift for Birthday or Christmas, some people are going to be very happy. They are lovely, too good to use.

They are all so lovely and that book looks great. I love crochet for the fact that it is so easy to carry around and quick projects are so satisfying. Have a wonderful weekend. Tammy
