Random Project Completion

[debka_notion]

I finally finished a kippah I've been working on for Mom, and a set of potholders for my sister. I wonder if I should make her a matching trivet- it isn't like it would take long, and the yarn is quite pleasantly fuzzy, which is good motivation when it's grey and rainy out. (Also, she sent me this really lovely hamsa, and I'm bad at getting to stores and picking things out, but at least this will be something she will hopefully find useful, and fuzzy is rarely a bad thing, right?)

I would make it. I love making trivets. They're fast and easy.

What kind of yarn are you using? I usually use dishcloth cotton for trivets.

This is just some yarn that I got for cheap. It's probably not idea for anything of this sort, but it's very pleasantly fuzzy, and feels like it turns out about the right thickness for pot holders, etc.

As long as it's not to flammable...

Or meltable, like anything synthetic...

yeah, as long as it isn't silk. ;) (we all learned how quickly that burns...)

Yay fuzzy! What are trivets? And what would you be doing with the yarn re: hamsa?

[debka-notion.livejournal.com]

A trivet is a thing you put under a hot pot so that it doesn't scar or damage the table underneath.

No connection between the yarn and the hamsa- just that my sister gave me something nice, and I want to give her something too.

sorry, when i first read that, i thought the trivet is meant to match the kippah :-P

Now That would be a concept. I don't know that it would have much of a market/receptive audience though. Do you generally feel a need to match your kitchen?
