THank you ALL for your lovely comments about my last potholder, It really did make me feel soo much better.Yesterday I finished my 2nd potholder for Mum, the Vintage Rose Potholder which I had been inspired to do because of Kate's beautiful potholders.(Thanks Kate for the link). At first I had been a little reluctant to try this one, as much as I love it, because well I thought i wouldn't be able to do it. Although I crochet a lot, it's usually all in dc ( or single depending which country you're in) my knowledge in stitches is rather limited, and I so wanted to make Mum something really special. ( Mum's kitchen is green and white, with a little yellow so that is why they are all in those colours)
So I started 3 other different ones, always dreaming about making this one, and finally thought what the heck. So at the very least I've done it, which makes me feel a little good.
It seems I definetly am feted to make wonky things in general and so I'm going with it rather than fighting it. I actually finished it on Tuesday, but the pattern has a back bit, and after lots of umming and ahhhing I decided to make it and see what I thought that I would never know, but then when I put then together I liked it less, the lacy pattern was lost, so I abandoned it. A little annoying but well she's worth it. I just hopes she likes them!

just love the colours in that one, wow you are going to be the princess of potholders.have a lovely Merry one.
Oh Jess it is beautiful in that colour way! Your Mum is going to be thrilled. That is my favourite of all the pot holders I've made so far. I've made it twice, once with the back and once without. I agree with you that it is much nicer without. Can't wait to see what comes next.
I hope you have the most wonderful Christmas. X
