News from potholder planet

I have received my first swap pot holder! Isn't it pretty! BeritKristine sent it to me. Thank you, Berit!

And here's the one I sent to Babben, who has received it all right. I have been trying to photograph both sides at a time, as you can see. Would have been easier with a third arm...

The lizard side is just free fom crochet.  I made a drawing, and tried to make the lizard look like the drawing, more or less. Then filled in with background, decreasing and increasing with different stitches to make it a circle. And then some embroidered decoration. It was fun!

The other side is Annepålandet's pot holder pattern, a big fave!

You can see more of the pot holders here and here (Ravelinks) and on Flickr.
