SPRING FLOWER???

April 30, 2010 by jd wolfe

This may not be what you had in mind when you saw the title above – but it’s beautiful!!  Sara is very good with color – something I can’t claim to be.  I always enjoy her color combinations as well as neat stitches and attention to detail.

Further, I appreciate that she crocheted this potholder in wool rather than acrylic.  Even if it’s purely decorative, I hate to see potholders and hotpads made with acrylic.  If you’ve ever gotten an acrylic burn, you’ll know why.  Wool and cotton make much better sense to me.

The original pattern Sara used is this one:

However, she has altered the pattern.  She explains her changes here:

where you can also see a few other samples of her floral potholder.  Pretty!

Christmas Poinsettia Candle Cozy Crochet Pattern – A Pretty Little Holiday Make for Battery Tea Lights

If you love adding little handmade touches to your Christmas decorating, this Christmas Poinsettia Candle Cozy from CraftBits is such a pretty project. It is festive, eye-catching, and just the sort of small crochet make that can add a lovely pop of holiday color to a table, shelf, or mantel.

What I really like about this pattern is that it feels special without being overwhelming. It is a sweet seasonal project for dressing up battery tea lights, and the poinsettia design gives it that classic Christmas look that never gets old. It would be gorgeous as part of a holiday centerpiece or made up in a few sets for decorating around the house.

You might have seen this one featured on Crochet.CraftGossip before, and it is easy to see why it is worth another look. It is cheerful, decorative, and a lovely way to bring a little crochet into your Christmas styling without taking on a huge project.

If you are in the mood for a small festive make, this one is definitely a pretty pick.
