My first squiggly hotpad--now with correct pictures

[Krakovianka]

Note: I'm having problems with photobucket and had to remove the pics. I'll put them back ASAP, and make a note in the title that it's fixed. Sorry!


Remember the yucky thread?

It's useless for doilies or lace, but works up pretty nicely for kitchen items.

Thanks again to sleevelessinsu for sharing about these!

Want to squiggle? This is a good use for those leftover bits that aren't enough for a complete project! Join us in the squiggly-wiggly CAL...

I still have 14 balls of thread (6 only partial now!), so there are more squigglies in my future...

I was wondering what the first post was all about... :lol Your potholder turned out fabulous!! I love all the bright colors! I never know how to put colors together like that unless it is already predetermined in a pattern. I saw someone else's squiggly potholder and so I got mine out and worked on it a little. But I haven't picked it up since.

Yours turned out great, I love it! :manyheart I might do one similar to yours, as it would go in my kitchen almost perfect! (Minus the greens?)

Love how you put the colors together. How long did it take to make it? I want to make some for Christmas presents (between making afghans).

The color combo is great! I can't wait to get mine started.

[Krakovianka]

I worked on this across several days...and I'll actually make the next one one round smaller. I don't really know how long it took, but you could also use cotten worsted weight and they would make up more quickly with fewer rounds. There are some nice pics in the squiggly wiggly CAL.

BTW, I've decided this color-combo makes this a "fiesta" hotpad.

very nice, i like how curly they are

[dixieredhead]

wow! I bet that was time consuming! I love ur squiggle!

[ktfdj]

That turned out great! I've started one, but haven't had the time to finish. After seeing yours and the work of others around here, I can't wait to get mine done. Good job!

[Lisaizme]

very bright and cheerful :)

[texasredhead]

Very pretty!! I just started one with the book. I don't have pretty yarn like that, but I'm just using up what I have to practice making it. I hope mine turns out as nice as yours!!
:)

[yarn_monkey]

That is so pretty and the colors look great! :manyheart I don't know if I could use it for anything but eye candy. And I would be all about that CAL if I had enough thread, darnit. :P

Book?? what book?? Did I miss something? Oh, please tell me what book. :goodorbad Like I need another book...lol

I have made squiggly hotpads using cotton, but hadn't thought about thread. Thanks for the idea!

[oliveoil]

Wow, I like the color pattern!! Really "coooool"!! Once I got the "hang" of it, they're pretty fun to make--But I don't like all the tails that have to be hidden!!:eek

[Shell]

looks great! like how you held 1 strand of 2 colours in critical places to make the colours flow together!
