What's going on Wednesday??

Well, I've been hookin' lately as it's that time of year again! 2011 Crochet Potholder Swap! I really wanted to try a new pattern this year and then worried I'd be too stressed about other stuff to pay attention to detail.. Been eyeing the African Flower pattern for a while, I could almost imagine a blanket of them...but until then African Flower Mandala Potholder will have to do ;) Here's the first one! I didn't quite do the flower according to the instructions..but it's pretty and useful! Potholder #1 I like the backs, you just go on and on and match them to the fronts... the back Onward to the 2nd one...um..so colorful..yeah.. Potholder #2 that'll make up for the WTH were you doing during the flower part?? Different, but hey, it's still pretty and still a useful potholder ;) the back Just love this blue...sigh..I had less than a yard left after this. 3rd time is the charm! Crochet Potholder Swap 2011 Oh yes! This is how the flower should be! I didn't fully soak this one yet...thinking I will as it should fluff the back up more...you know fill it in. Potholder #3 Various colors of Aslan Trends & Takhi Cotton yarns 3.5mm and 4.0mm hooks 2 more to go!

You do beautiful crochet work. All of your pot holders are adorable. You'll have to show us what you get in return.

Great potholders! Is there a specific pattern that you use for these? I do a little crocheting from time to time....
