I'm Potty this W.I.P. Wednesday: My Upcoming Crochet Potholder Adventure

I joined the Dazzling Dozen Potholder Swap Group on Ravelry. If you love crochet potholders, this is for you. All you have to do is sign up to a group for either a 6 month or 12 month commitment to make one crochet potholder a month. Each month, one person from the group receives a potholder from all the other members of the swap group.

Now, the search is on for interesting potholder patterns. I really like the Scalloped Potholder by Priscilla Hewit. It uses the front-post double crochet (fpdc) to make ribs in the crochet which spread out from the center.

This is the beginning of my Scalloped Potholder.

I'll crochet myself one first to check out the pattern. I'd like to get bright and funky colours for the one I'll crochet for the swap.

Signing off for W.I.P. Wednesday.

Happy Wednesday!

Winter is Here: Time to Knit!

Despite the fact that winter doesn't actually arrive until December 21st, winter arrived in my backyard yesterday!

I tend to want to knit when winters calls. Compliments of Queer Joe's Knitting Blog, this is a super list of 25 places to find free knitting patterns.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

Happy knitting!
