I still have 30 minutes, if I'm fast, to say Happy Valentines Day to you all.
Partner was not that impressed with the potholders. I think mostly because he wanted the eye to show up. So my two options are 1) use the left over yarn from these to make another pot holder with the same size needles and 2) dye the extra yarn I have from the French Press Slippers I'm making for my sister so that I have black and maroon and knit using two strands and larger needles with that. Either way I'm using the double knitting method.
I've modified the original pattern a bit so that both the eyes show up using method (1), the male ear and arm shows up more, and the female is wider. I'll post pictures as it comes along....the double knitting is a lot slower than my normal knitting. But hopefully that will speed up later.
In the mean time I've finished knitting the French Press Slippers. Just waiting to felt them and to find nice buttons for them. I also started a novel design for a sampler yarn using Knit Picks Chroma in Regency. Pictures and posts of those to come.
