After anxiously waiting, I finally received my five pot holders from the Pot Holder Swap!! Adrian, Maryse and Maritza did a wonderful job of dividing up, packing and mailing 90-ish packages — that means over 500 pot holders! You can see pictures of Adrians living room full of pot holders here and here and here.
Here are the lovely pot holders I received, starting with the coral & white with green center and going clockwise: Erin, Pam, Susann, Anne, and Lulu. Thanks to all of you for your wonderful workmanship!!

They look great! Definitely too nice to actually use… Now I wish I had participated as well.

Wow, they look really good TOGETHER!!
I’m glad my potholder got such great company! I haven’t received mine yet – Norway is far away and the mail usually takes 2-3 weeks – or more. I’m really looking forward to it.
Thanks for the comment on my blog! I will write down the pattern soon and post it on my blog – it is Made By Me. But I don’t know if I’m able to translate it to english… The Google Translater is not working very well – did you use it on my blog? Or how did you read it? I’m curious to know.
Have a nice day!

Oh those colors make me feel so good! I especially like the round one. I have crochet on my list of things I want to learn to do. Even bought a set of hooks with instructions.

Those are sweet!
As for spinning fine yarn, there’s no trick to it if you use a light spindle. And draft a few fibers at a time, making sure there’s twist in them before drafting the next group.

Love the pot holders! I like the round one best. Don’t suppose you know where to get the pattern for it?
