Placemats

[DesertCrocheter]

Here is a link to placemats I made my big sis for Christmas. Her kitchen is yellow and white, so I made 2 of each for her. This was my first time using Aunt Lydia's thread, and I liked it--very easy on the hands. Thanks for looking, Patty

SheCrochets, here's the link:

it's a free pattern on the Coats and Clark website. It was super easy, too. I'd say each placemat took me about 2 or 3 hours (I'm not a terribly fast crocheter, though, and still pretty new at it).

Thanks for the nice comments, gals. :hook Patty

[dogymom]

Oh sheesh!;) One more thing to add to my list!
Great job! Those are so pretty, but I'd be very afraid of spaghetti.:blush

Those are very pretty! I love that shade of yellow! What is it?

[DesertCrocheter]

Just the yellow Aunt Lydia's they sell at Joann's; I'm not sure what it's called but they only had one shade of yellow at my store. And yikes, dogymom, I didn't think about spaghetti, and my BIL is very Italian! :eek Oh well, not my problem! :lol Thanks for the compliments. I've hidden the one that is slightly smaller than the other three--my gauge must have been way off, and it wasn't even the first or last one I did, but a middle one, so you'd think my tension would have just been flowing from one to the next. Oh well, handmade does not equal perfect. And there's only 2 of them (sis and BIL), so they can just use two of the four placemats. ;) Patty

Thank you! I love the color!
