Recently I needed a gift on a quite short notice and then I remembered the double knitted potholders.
After all I still had some cotton thread (thinking of heat resistance and so on) and designed quickly a rosebud pattern (see links below).

 

unikatissima Double Knitted Potholders Rosebuds The potholders have – as double knitted items always have – the pattern on one side …

By the way, the potholders were well received ;-)

I find these sewn potholders soo beautiful!
I even tried it once but it didn’t work: I wanted to sew on spirals, but the stitching made the fabric pucker up completely although I made the stitch length as long as possible.
Probably the needle thread tension was too high or the like, I have to try it once more.
Somewhen ;-))

I like this idea, too: fold a potholder, sew together and embellish and you’ll have a padded eyeglass case.
However, if I think about a previous ‘very simple’ sewing project I’m sceptical whether I will be able to make it so easily ;-))

Not long ago I presented the double knitted potholders.
As always it began to work in my head (not to think, thinking is stressful! ;-)) and I wanted absolutely know whether you can double knit in rounds.
You can ;-))

I knitted two wristwarmers for me with a set of double-pointed needles as for socks and here you can see the inside.

Here is the chart I used.
I’m not 100% positive about it because I’m simply knitting too loose and these fine patterns don’t look as good as I’d have wished.
Perhaps it is different for you :)

I knitted the pattern 5x, but of course you must adapt this to your wrists ;-))

Monika’s Dish-Cloth Apron

After having published the entry Slippers from Old Textiles, Monika sent me an email with the photo (click to enlarge) and the following text (translation – and translation errors! – by me ;-)):

“I’m making such aprons for years. The ‘edging’ or rather the slings are from ready bought bias tape (the package with 5m lasts conveniently for exactly one apron two aprons, so that also the costs remain reasonable).
The aprons are always a great success. If the pattern makes it possible (e.g. gingham patterns) I sew little pockets from the pieces that I cut away on top.”

Well, isn’t this a great idea?
Thank you, Monika!

And if you have the dish cloth 2x, sew some matching potholders ;-)

Fabric Bowl Cover

Well, if the time for picnics comes it’s good to have finished with the covers for the salad bowls, isn’t it?
And it doesn’t always have to be from plastic ;-)

You can even make yourself the oil cloth for the picnic, to make the salad bowl from fabric is perhaps a little bit on the extreme side ;-))
But when you’re at it you may want to make place mats matching the oil cloth and sew pot holders for the Barbecue.
You don’t have to sew a bag if you confine yourself to using a Furoshiki ;-)

I enthused already about patchwork knitting, now I even found an instruction for socks in this technique – and what for socks!
In fact I’m not one for sock knitting but here I’m really tempted ;-)
