I took a new direction this last week and crocheted a potholder. A post by Deanna that was posted by someone (now I can't remember who) stuck with me. I went looking for my crochet needles and some cotton yarn. As you can see the variegated blue yarn ran out before I was finished. Since this one is for me, I think the blue stripe is a fine finish. Last night I played with my hook and made a couple of little scrubbies for doing dishes. I haven't crocheted at all this last year and this felt good. I may have to start an afghan to work on this winter. There is something so cozy about working on an afghan in the cold evenings.
I completed a hen potholder to go with my rooster. I hope to get a few more made this week, but it is already Wednesday.
My poor iron died over the week-end. It has been a good one--Black and Decker. I've had this one for 12 years. It took me by surprise. I hadn't noticed any problems with it. It just didn't get hot on Saturday.
I picked this one up at Alco on Sunday. There wasn't much choice. I'll see how long this one lasts. I didn't spend much, so we'll see.
The new one has a Teflon coated bottom. I wonder if the fusible comes off it easier? Every time I fuse I end up having to clean the bottom of the iron.
The last few days have been unseasonably warm for November. The snow has disappeared. December is going to change things--we have a cold front on the way and snow predicted. Winter is on it's way!
