February potholder for Bente-Tove

I sent this potholder from the Zoo to Bente-Tove. 

Pot holder fun!

Thank you so much for your nice comments on my last post. I'm very happy about how my vest pattern has been received on Ravelry. But now something else: This year's pot holder swap is about to finish. Lots of colourful and creative pot holders has been made and changed owner. Here's the January potholder I received from Annepaalandet.

And here are all the potholders I got this year!

And these are the ones from last year, photographed after one year of use.

 

In the Zoo!

In February, the Potholder Swap went to the Zoo - and my swap mate wwent to the Aquarium. Look what I found in my mailbox yesterday!

A little butterfly had escaped to join the party too!

Thank you so much, Hannesol!

Here in the house, they say this potholder is cooler than the one I'm sending away. Good for us! But I hope Bente-Tove will like her potholder too. It will soon be on its way to her. When she's received it, I'll show you, and you can judge for yourself.

Have a wonderful Sunday everyone, in the Zoo or elsewhere!

February FO #7 aka January potholder

Last post in the February FO series. I think I have blogged all my "unblogged" FOs now (except for one secret projects, that I hope to be able to show you in March...). 

January potholder for the potholder swap. No pattern. January's theme was winter, or from granny's kitchen. I hope you can guess which I chose. It was sent to Babben, who also got one of my potholders in last year's swap.

Here's the potholder I sent to Duvi in November

The theme was Flower Power.

Here's what I got in the mail yesterday, from Myrtell. 

I think it goes nicely with the first potholder I received.

I'm just playing around with Instagram)

October Potholder from Solbjørg

Here's the October potholder I received from Solbjørg.

A lovely and colourful potholder made over the theme summer memories. 

You can see all the Swap potholders here.

Potholder Swap - October

Here's the pot holder I sent to BeritKristine. The theme I chose was "Oldies and Goldies" - I thought a granny square and a log cabin square was suitable for that theme. The edging is "Krepsemasker", which I believe is called "Reverse crochet" in English (correct me if I'm wrong). It's just single crochet worked from left to right, easy peasy, but quite decorative, I think.
