What did we do on New Year's Eve? Well...... Ava and I wove potholders and turned them into a sweet little colorful bag!
Lot's of fun bringing back an old craft from my youth and teaching it to Ava. I was surprised how tight and tricky the potholder weaving could get!
Spent today in my studio weaving, crocheting, and correcting pesky mistakes. All was worth it because I have a nice new shawl for wearing over tees and sweaters...........
I used this lovely color transitioning Noro yarn. I was looking for a simple green, but fell in love with this combination of greens, teal, peach, grays, and black. I see this with a white t-shirt in the spring!
I'm on to my next project, which will be another small hooked pictorial. I have some fun ideas in my head that hopefully, I can make come to life on the linen. Have a wonderful cozy weekend....

Oh what a sweet and precious girl!
I am sure you had a lot of fun.
Young children always amaze me with the wisdom they bring into this world.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend!

Wow Dulcy, I LOVE your shawl. It's absolutely beautiful. I can see heads turning when you wear it. Very chic.
Ava is lucky to have you teach her weaving. I did that too when I was young. I made a cardboard loom . It was so much fun. I never thought of making a bag with it though. She did a great job on her beautiful bag.
Hugs,
