I'm pretty excited today, typically when I make something as a gift I wrap it all up nice and pretty...then remember that I wanted to take photos of it! Not today my friends, not today! Now my photo skills aren't where I want them to be...frankly I'm pretty terrible with an entirely too user friendly camera but bear with me, hopefully as my projects get better so will my photography skills!

My friend Rodney is getting married this weekend and let me tell you, never text a dude and ask what color their kitchen is! The response I got was "we're going to paint but the wood is light and the appliances are black." Ugh, thanks for nothing bro! haha! I told him to ask his fiance and get back to me. Thankfully she sent me a pinterest link filled with delightfully 50s style kitchen inspiration! I ran with it!

The pot holders are made using this pattern. Its super easy and works up quick, just how I like them! I'm addicted to making these!

The dish cloths are just made using a seed stitch, in order to get that kind of waffle-y looking pattern. Then I just threw a single crochet edge around them to draw the look together (plus I had extra yarn so why not!)

Materials used:
-Hook size G

-2 2.5oz balls Lily Sugar and Cream Cotton in Robin's Egg (don't let the name and photo fool you, this is kind of a minty blue color)

-3 2oz balls Lily Sugar and Cream Scented Cotton in Camomile...I ordinarily wouldn't choose a scented yard, but this was the color I had to have, a light peach pink. I'm pretty smell sensitive and at times while working with it it bordered on being too strong for me, but the finished project is not as smelly! I don't really see the point of scented yarn, but to each their own and I would use it again for the right colors!

Let me know what you think! And I'll keep you posted on whether or not they like them!
