{made} — vintage kitchen set
I think I am in love with this pattern, it’s so easy to memorize you can work up a potholder basically anywhere. I made two with an opposite color theme, plus two flower coasters to accompany them. You can find both patterns on ravelry: the potholder pattern here, and the flower pattern here. These will perk up any kitchen!
{made} — valentine’s day coasters
Decided to make something for my parents this year for Valentine’s Day instead of just sending them the standard candy gift. As soon as I saw this pattern I knew I had to make these adorable heart coasters. My friend over at pepperknit wrote the pattern and I even used the yarn she had surprised me with a few months ago in the mail to make them. The colors worked out perfect! They were really fun to crochet and gave instant gratification, which I love.
I used a G hook with the pink yarn and the a F hook with the brown yarn since it was a little thicker — they came out to be the same size which was a wonderful surprise to get right on the first try :) I know I’ll be making more of these fun hearts, might do a mix-match colored garland to hang up in our house.
This pattern, Be Mine Coasters, can be found in the January/February 2010 issue of Crochet Today!
