Aunt B's 2024 January Potholder Pick

Posted by Angela B. at 2:00 PM 0 comments

 



Aunt B's 2024 January Potholder Pick of the Month is the Ice Star Potholder.

As you can see here, I had to DNF (did not finish) this item. That is what my daughter would say to me about the book I was reading taking me 6 months to read. By the way, I finally finished said book this weekend.

I will need to attempt this one again for sure. 

Did you make this beautiful hot pad?

 Comment with any tips you may have for anyone attempting this beautiful pattern.

 I will still definitely use mine, but I feel like it is almost one of the PINTEREST makes gone bad.

 LOL!

Crochet Carnations in the Monthly Crochet Flower Challenge 2024!

Posted by Angela B. at 12:21 PM 0 comments



January, the month we ring in the new year with our resolutions that we set for ourselves. I usually stay away from setting myself up for failure. So, I will call my resolutions, challenges. I want to challenge myself this year to crocheting a flower every month. 




January's flower is the Carnation. Prior to deciding on this challenge for myself I had no idea what flower represented each month, but that will make this challenge much more fun, right? 






Top off my challenge with the fact that you will rarely ever see me purchase a pattern for something, I look for all FREE patterns to attempt and I do hope you join me on this journey. It will be fun to challenge ourselves. Crochet flowers can be used for so many fun projects, I have many on my bucket list to try. I am crossing my fingers I am able to find a link to a free pattern for every flower of the month in 2024!




She looks lovely on my kitchen table, the Homemade Snickerdoodles in the background weren't too bad either! :) 
 
 


This month's flower as I mentioned is the Carnation. I am using 100 % cotton yarn; my yarn is either Peaches and Cream or Crafters Choice brand. I decided to do this challenge on a whim, so I did not have all supplies needed from the pattern designer, like floral wire. I decided to go with one leaf. 

This pattern can be followed along easily by watching this video on YouTube at
