Potholders

I have developed an obsession for making crochet potholders.  I think it has to do with the almost immediate gratification I get from making them.  They are fast and I can say, "oh look what I finished!"

I also really love the vintage inspiration.  This pattern is a modification of the one above, that I found here.  I like working vintage patterns because I learn new techniques, it helps me learn how to write patterns, and most importantly, it helps me learn how not to write a pattern.  A poorly placed comma can mean a completely different set of instructions!  Needless to say, this pattern took a couple tries to figure it out.

I found this one on Ravelry. It's a lot less complicated than it would appear;)

Now, I've decided I want to interpret that pinwheel flower design at the top into coasters.  It shouldn't be too hard to figure out.  It may need to be accompanied by some caffeine though!

How is your week shaping up?  Do you have any projects in the works?
