Time for a new project

I have started on a new project and we will see what that will be.  :)

Here is the first part.

The potholders are finished. How I made them.

I have finished the potholders. Here is how I did mine.

I made a pattern that's featured in my previous post. I used diagonal afghan pattern.  Here is a link how you do it.

After I had finished the four part I fasten the thread. I only tied two threads together two times and then cut it off.

The I cut out interfacing's to the backside to iron on, on the threads so they don't get up in the washer.

I also cut out cotton wool about 1 cm thick and put that on one side of the potholders. 

Now I have put the other part on top. The one without cotton wool. I choose to crochet a single crochet row around them so I could "sew" them together. Last but not least I crochet a hanging loop. :)

The patterns for potholders

I have finished one side and started on the other.  Here are the patterns for the two potholders. :)

This is how the potholder looks with the coffee pot

                                   

Here again with my other potholder :)

I have started on my other potholder now. See how it goes.  :) I made another pattern on that one and I think you can see already what this pattern is going to be. :)

I will put up the pattern for both of them when this is finished.

I've injured my arms so...

....I have to rest from crochet for a little while.  That is not fun because I love to crochet.  :(

Potholders continue

I have finished then first potholder. I have crochet two pieces that I'm going to put together. At first I was going two with the same pattern but I have change my mind about the other so I'm going to put up two patterns here when I'm finished. :)
Here is the two finished parts.

Potholders

I know what I should do with my latest project. :) Potholders!
Perfect size.
I will put up how I did mine when I have done two and a half parts more. :)
Here is how far I have gotten on the first and second part.
