I love African Mandala squares! They are just too pretty. I also really enjoy this pattern. It's super easy. I have to say my favorite cotton yarn right now is the knitpicks simply cotton. It is just soo soft and easy to crochet with. I wish I had more of it. 

180/365 - Tribble Trivet

Pattern: Tribble Trivet by  Kristin Roach

Hook used: H

Yarn Used: Hobby Lobby's I love this Cotton in Red and Turquoise. 

I had issues with this pattern. Thankfully, it turned out really cute, but not without a little cussing. When I made the pattern as written. I ended up with a coaster. Cute but not what I was looking for. So I used a bigger hook, added some more rounds and ended up here. I had to block it, but it's working. Sheldon asked if it was a Spiderman web potholder. Gotta love him. 

179/365 - Grape Cluster Potholder

Pattern: Grape Cluster Potholder by  Maggie Weldon Designs

Yarn Used: Sugar and Cream Cotton Yarn in  Robins Egg Blue, Soft Ecru, and Tangerine. 

They just keep getting better! Last night, my friend Levi suggested I make the grape potholders. I wasn't sure what he was talking about so I went looking. I assume he meant something like this but when I saw this pattern I had to make it.  You all know how much I love the popcorn stitch!

 

178/365 Flower Potholder

Pattern: Flower Potholder by Jennifer Martin

Hook used: G

Yarn Used: Sugar and Cream Cotton Yarn in Yellow, Rose Pink, Jute, Robins Egg Blue , Tangerine, and White.

This potholder is my reason for doing potholder week. It's just as perfect as I dreamed it would be! However, I must say Sugar and  Cream yarn is the bane of my existence as a crocheter. I hate it so much. It doesn't feel good to crochet (or knit) with and it hurts my wrists every time I use it. I went and got some I love this cotton from Hobby Lobby tonight to use the rest of the week.

The little ruffles on this one drew my attention. I love how cute potholders are!

176/365 - Fanciful Flower Potholder

Pattern: Fanciful Flower Potholder by Claudia Lowman

Hook used: H

Yarn Used: Sugar and Cream Cotton Yarn in Soft Ecru, Robins Egg Blue, Tangerine, and Yellow

I love this pattern. This one makes more of a trivet because of how thick it is, but it will probably just be a pretty decoration to hang. I like potholder week already :)

Pattern: Mixed Berry Tarts Throw by Marianne Forrestal

Hook used: H

Yarn Used: Hobby Lobby's I Love this Yarn Grey Beard, Old Leaf, and Hot Rose.

Pretty Pretty. I really like this square and I love the full blanket made from the pattern. Definitely one to keep in my infinite "someday make" list.

Sorry for the confusion in the last post. I thought I was keeping all my files organized and that one square just slipped through the cracks. We all goof up sometime right? haha

172/365 - Mystery Square --- scratch that

Pattern: ? It really is a mystery

Hook used: H

Yarn Used: Hobby Lobby's I Love this Yarn Grey Beard, Old Leaf, Peacock, Hot Rose, and Sungold.

Finished size: 8"

I seriously have no idea what pattern I used for this square or even when I made it. I was sorting through the squares for this blanket, trying to figure out how to lay them out for joining when I found this square and couldn't remember it. I searched through all of my blog posts and couldn't find it. I searched my ravelry queue and I couldn't find it anywhere. So if any of you can pin point what pattern this is, I'll update this post to include the information. I think it might be from 200 crochet blocks but I can't find my book at the moment.

Ok seriously Dana? I had a major brain fart on this one! Thanks to Marianne for reminding me that this is Adahia's pattern, I realized that I made this in the middle of the Granny a Day in May. It's square #111 I just must have forgotten about it because it was the only square I made with this color scheme during May. Ugh. I must be recovering from sleep deprivation or something. The real square #172 coming up now!

A cute little flower square. I added some more rounds to make it 8 inches and some v-stitches to add interest.
