I finished these potholders over the weekend along with a pineapple doily that needs to be blocked...
Ok..I finished a doily and it needs to be blocked. For those of you who follow my blog you know I do not like to block. So I tend to put finished doilies in a bin to block later. I thought I was catching up on the blocking thing..well now I am back up to 30 to be blocked. I don't know how this happens.
I shouldn't have looked or counted them when I threw the pineapple doily in the pile. I didn't think I had completed that many..again...I need a person or fairy godmother that will block them as I complete them. I will get them done before the end of September..It just takes time and a place to lay them out to dry. My dear hubby even made me more boards so this wouldn't keep happening. Maybe tomorrow I will start the blocking process..again. But for today...It is time to grab a hook and some thread and make something...preferably nothing that needs to be blocked.

Can't help you with the bouillon stitch question...sorry!

Lovely potholders! I usually make these for gifts - I don't have the heart to use them.
Did you say 30 doilies to block ?? Wow! You beat my record !! don't worry ,eventually you'll get to all of them ! I hat blocking as well.
Very nice!
Here you hate to block, and I just wish I knew how to do it! =) I scrape by with spray starch and an iron... pathetic!
Your pot holders are so lovely! Can't wait to see what you hook next. :) Blessings always
