Delightful Diamond Dishcloths

by Sue, posted in Dishcloths, Patterns

I had seen dishcloths and potholders like these before, there are quite a few variations of this general pattern.  Some are sc, some dc, the vintage potholders are often double thick (I will be making some of those soon!).  I think the general pattern has been around for some time, it is simple, easy to remember and practical.  The ones by Apple Blossom Dreams (it was a free pattern when I made these, now it is only available for purchase) really caught my eye, they were so pretty and colorful that I just had to make some of my own.

A Chicken for Every Pot

by Sue, posted in Odds & Ends, Patterns

I have a weird obsession, um, I like things that are chickens, they amuse me and make me smile.  I don’t know why.  I also need something to keep me from burning my fingers when I cook.  And so, I needed to make this chicken potholder. (I had to do it, I tell you!)
