    They are both super awesome! I especially love how the combination of the variegated with the solid came out!

    Those pot holders are awesome! I especially love the one in the second picture. I think you can relax and enjoy the crocheting! (Though I totally understand the worry - I get like that too with swaps.)

    I see in the comments that you have the patterns linked in your blog...I'm definitely going to check them out! Thanks for sharing =)

    They're both wonderful. I think you should do the first pattern, since I'm seriously considering doing the second. ;)

    (JK, I'm there can be duplicates. I couldn't resist.)
