In and among busy times, I managed to find some space for crochet, and in my last post gave a cheeky peek at something I was working on - would you like to see the finished result?
Some flowery rounds...
An eight-round flower...
A corsage perhaps?
No... some leaves were attached...
More rounds...
A placemat? Or doily? The start of a new crochet blanket or cushion?
No...
Its a...
Potholder!
It has a solid treble crochet backing, so although it looks quite intricate and fragile it offers a lot of protection when lifting hot pans from the cooker and feels surprisingly sturdy. It was a lot of fun to make, I am sure I will make more for gifts for family and friends. I have just started on a reverse-colour version, i.e. the flower is cream and the background pink. I also think that lemon, and cornflower blue would look good. And even perhaps a really rich, deep purple or red...the possibilities are endless!
What crafting projects have you worked on recently? Would love to hear about them!
