Vintage Project

Have you ever tried to re-create something just by looking at it?
A friend of mine brought me this pot holder that was made by her aunt a long time ago. She had a lot of them but this one was getting really worn out. Rather than throw it away she gave it to me knowing I would love it (and I do:). I set out right away to re-create it. It seems fairly straight forward and it is working out very well so far. I am doing mine in baby blue and the accent color will be dark blue. You can see the first panel in the 2nd picture below. I need to use a smaller hook next time to get it a little bit tighter but otherwise I think it is coming along perfectly! I just need to make one more panel and then put them together. I can't wait to see it done!

You do know that you'll have to post a picture of your finished project now? The suspense is killing me.

Of course:) It won't be long now that I have finished the shawl.

It was not hard at all!
