Yesterday was Canada Day, a very quiet, relaxing day. I spent part of it trying to copy a potholder from pictures. You can see Anne's potholders here.
I especially liked and noticed the orange/green one with the blue in the middle first. There's no pattern so far, but Anne says somewhere on her blog, that she'll write one up eventually. I couldn't wait, so I sat down and tried, and tried, until I finally was satisfied with how mine looked, except ...
Obviously I still have to work on the increases, it really should be flat, with no waves etc.
Now that I know I can do this, I'll work on my other WIP's but in the future there will be more potholders like this. The yarn I used were left overs from my Log Cabin blanket, it's cotton/microfiber.
Oh!!
ReplyDeleteThat's so beautiful!! I love it!!
The colors you used, the way they look together, all perfect!!
Happy Canada Day. I don't know if that's like Independence Day here in America, but I wish you and your family well all the same.
ReplyDeleteLovely potholder, well, it WILL be I'm sure. I don't know why I don't make them when I always need them. One of these days I will.
Oh, those are gorgeous! I need to figure out how to make those as well. I love that pattern.
ReplyDeleteIt looks pretty good for the first whack at the design! And it will still make a perfectly serviceable potholder.
ReplyDeleteConsider it a 3D potholder! Original and unique. Don't tell anyone it's a mistake; it's clearly well-thought out, pretty, and should wrap well around the handle because of that little pleat.
ReplyDeleteI always have issues at first with my crochet in the round having too many stitches. I like the pattern you have going there even with the rippling.
ReplyDeleteWow I love the potholder. I imagine the area with the extra flap gives it thickness for good insulation ;).
ReplyDeleteNice potholder.
ReplyDeleteOh Monika, you are to funny! I like your design choice - put it over a sauce pot with a handle and lid,the extra will serve to cover the handle, keeping those precious hands from getting burned! :-)
ReplyDeleteHi There, I have been trying to crochet one of Ann's pot holders. What is the stitch that has a point , like a curly Q top on a ice cream ? It is the blue and limey green row on your pot holder.I have been trying and trying , want to make some for my cooking friends for Christmas, Thanks so much, Judy from Alaska ~~~
