Time for a new project

I have started on a new project and we will see what that will be.  :)
Here is the first part.

Wednesday 16 September 2015

The potholders are finished. How I made them.

I have finished the potholders. Here is how I did mine.
I made a pattern that's featured in my previous post. I used diagonal afghan pattern.  Here is a link how you do it.


                                      

After I had finished the four part I fasten the thread. I only tied two threads together two times and then cut it off.

The I cut out interfacing's to the backside to iron on, on the threads so they don't get up in the washer.

I also cut out cotton wool about 1 cm thick and put that on one side of the potholders. 


Now I have put the other part on top. The one without cotton wool. I choose to crochet a single crochet row around them so I could "sew" them together. Last but not least I crochet a hanging loop. :)


Saturday 12 September 2015

The patterns for potholders

I have finished one side and started on the other.  Here are the patterns for the two potholders. :)




This is how the potholder looks with the coffee pot

                                   





Tuesday 8 September 2015

Here again with my other potholder :)

I have started on my other potholder now. See how it goes.  :) I made another pattern on that one and I think you can see already what this pattern is going to be. :)



I will put up the pattern for both of them when this is finished.

Thursday 3 September 2015
