And it is Monday



Good Afternoon my fellow bloggers. Nothing new on the homefront. So I guess that is good news. I have been into making potholders. I need to move on. But for some reason I think they are just the prettiest things around. I think I am going to yarn bomb my kitchen with them..hang them on hooks on everything.. I will take pics and maybe get the pics up tomorrow. But today I just finished this up in an army green color. It isn't DMC thread so I had to get used to working with it. It is Nezli Garden..very soft for thread. I like the results. I don't think I would like it too much for smaller projects because it is soft, but for larger ones like this table topper it works really well. I think this thread would be awesome for thread clothing or a bedspread. It is fairly reasonable in price..I think I paid about $3.50. It had about 350 yards of thread. I got it at Yarn Mountain on line..not sure of the web address as I kind of found it by accident. I bought it because I like the color and army green is hard to find. I am thinking I am going to put this in my etsy shop..

Very beautiful work. How fun to work with a different thread than usual. Sounds like some creative ideas might have come out of that!

This is a beautiful table cover. The yarn sound as though it would be nice to wear in a garment as well.

Beautiful. You must be the fastest crocheter in the west! I am working on that pineapple doily and I am having a problem on the end of the first pineapple. I am doing (at least I think I am) what the pattern directions say but something is not right. I know it is just me. I think I will try to take a pic of the doily and the directions and see if I can get some help. I love table topper doilies. Well, I love all doilies but table toppers are so pretty and can be seen so well.

Hi Vikki,

I sent you an email with a pic and tried to explain what I did. Thanks so much for your help. I love doilies and love crocheting but just wish I was better at it. Blogging is so great, there are so many talented ladies who are so willing to help. Thanks so much!!
