potholders :: just the beginning

In this post I want to say a big thank you to Kathy Ann for such her great work to pair us for the potholder swap !
I'll be very happy to work for Britta, and surprise her in the mail during the first week of December.
I made my first potholder last week (not for this swap or I wouldn't show it, of course !) from a shiny cotton (the main color is actually a nice grey not blue-ish, but my camera lens is broken & fussy when it comes to get a decent picture).
I believe cotton makes the most convenient (& safer in the kitchen) potholders, what do you think ?
The pattern is from this book.
Have a lovely week ! It almost feels like Fall here in Western France and I look forward to cozy crocheting evenings !

  10. not sure how to reach you by mail...
    (but I tried to send you an email)
    no need to read japanese, all japanese crochet books have diagrams (which are great because an international language !)no written explanations to read...
