Placemats

[DesertCrocheter]

Here is a link to placemats I made my big sis for Christmas. Her kitchen is yellow and white, so I made 2 of each for her. This was my first time using Aunt Lydia's thread, and I liked it--very easy on the hands. Thanks for looking, Patty

WOW! Those are truly beautiful! I must admit that after seeing them I am getting curious about working with thread.

SheCrochets, here's the link:

it's a free pattern on the Coats and Clark website. It was super easy, too. I'd say each placemat took me about 2 or 3 hours (I'm not a terribly fast crocheter, though, and still pretty new at it).

 

Thanks for the nice comments, gals. Patty

Oh sheesh! One more thing to add to my list!

Great job! Those are so pretty, but I'd be very afraid of spaghetti.

Those are very pretty! I love that shade of yellow! What is it?

[DesertCrocheter]

Just the yellow Aunt Lydia's they sell at Joann's; I'm not sure what it's called but they only had one shade of yellow at my store. And yikes, dogymom, I didn't think about spaghetti, and my BIL is very Italian! Oh well, not my problem! Thanks for the compliments. I've hidden the one that is slightly smaller than the other three--my gauge must have been way off, and it wasn't even the first or last one I did, but a middle one, so you'd think my tension would have just been flowing from one to the next. Oh well, handmade does not equal perfect. And there's only 2 of them (sis and BIL), so they can just use two of the four placemats. Patty

Thank you! I love the color!

I have to use Shout on my spaghetti stains (quite often:blush) But at least it works!!!
