Potholder in Giant

Felted potholders are my new potential favorite fast gift. This is my first attempt in preparation for Christmas gifts. I knitted an attached I-cord around the edge and an unattached I-cord for the loop. The loop was a crocheted chain in the pattern, but I like living on the edge, so I improvised.


Purl Bee says this is supposed to end up being 9.5 in. wide. I feel like even if it were 9.5 in., it would still be big for a potholder. Maybe this one would be appropriate for giants, but I'm planning to use it as a Dutch oven trivet instead. I'll frog the matching potholder and make a pair of smaller ones.

Mad Hatting Again

I made another 70's ski hat over my weekend trip to Pittsburgh. This one is made out of Brown Sheep Superwash (amethyst) and Cascade Superwash Paints, which was left over from my shawl. It is the first useful thing I've made that is machine washable. The variegation makes a nice effect.
