Goodbye 2010

I know, it is already 2011, but I spent my day helping my friends at the LYS packing (and inventorying) the shop in order to move over the next few days. The new shop is going to be great! But now, I am so tired, I can barely move, much less think straight. So I am going to make this short. 

Christmas eve found me much like last year, whipping up cat toys at the last minute. The princess loved hers.

Christmas morning found me the recipient of this from my grandmother:

Pretty ain't it? She informed me that she loved this type of potholder, but all of them are now dead and she would greatly appreciate it if I would knit her a few for her birthday in March. 

Except it is actually crochet. 

Which I really don't do. 

So thanks to Ravelry I found a free pattern and armed with my "Chicks with Sticks" learn to crochet book, a fancy addi hook and some sugar 'n cream, off I go.

Only one problem.

Oops. A 4" potholder can't be a good thing. So now to do some experimenting.

Victory!
