My potholders

Finished mine up last week. Will be mailing them on Monday. I used a square pattern that looks like stained glass for the potholder front and just added a basic back to it.

Took me a long time to decide what pattern I wanted to use. Did a lot of test patterns, etc.

just a peek

although i did a lot of practicing with dk weight cotton yarns, i decided early on that i would embrace the whole vintage feel of the cotton crocheted potholder and work with a thinner cotton thread.

the potholder design i'm going with is one inspired by a potholder i found at a flea market last year and that i've had hanging on my kitchen wall since.

since this photo was taken, i've made 2 more. just one more to go!

once the swap is over i'll write out the pattern for these.
