Another Squiggly Wiggly

I started this on July 18 and finished it yesterday, July 22! It worked up so quick and easy.

FRONT and BACK

I used the whole ball of Lily Big Deal Thread, Article 74P, Size 5, 300 yards, Color Mistletoe, and Size 6 Hook.

My grid is 23 x 23, 11 rounds, and measures 7" x 7". I worked the grid "in the round" and worked 5 dc on each post. Then I did a final round of sc for a more finished look.

Squiggly Hotpad Is Finished!

OK, here is my progress.

I corrected the curling problem by making the grid rounds looser.

Front and Back

The grid is 23x23 and measures 6".

I want to add a border around it in sc for a more finished look.

Here is the finished product!!!

Front and Back

I will be giving it to my sister tomorrow.

Let's hope she likes it!

Squiggly Hotpad For My Sister

This is a work in progress. It is my attempt at a hotpad for my sister. Her mother-in-law made one, it is really old, and my sister asked me if I could dupciate it. I didn't have a pattern, but after studying it, I told her I would give it a try. So here is my attempt...

This is the thread I'm using. So far it's a grid of 13x13 and measures 3". As you can see from the back, it's curling around the edges. I don't know if this will correct itself when I get closer to finishing it.

The front looks very crowded, but I don't remember if this is the way it's suppose to look. But I will continue on.

I'm hoping that by putting this here it will inspire me to finish it. It has been a UFO for quite some time.

Beaded Wine Bottle Cover

I made a couple of these for the wine I gave as a Christmas or hostess gift.

Plastic Bag Keeper

This is a pattern I made up because I wanted a very simple bag keeper.

Towel Hanger & Scrubbie

Here are a couple more items for Kelli.

This is a pattern I made up after seeing a simular towel hanger.

This is the scrubbie I made for her, front and back. Again, made up this pattern after seeing a simular one.
