I've always wanted to learn how to do color work in crochet...so the other night I picked up an instructional book and figured out how to make a heart...it was fun, so I then made another one, except I reversed the colors. My husband said, "What are you making? A pot holder?" Well, no I hadn't been. But it certainly gave me an idea for what I could do with the two squares. I sewed them together, added a loop on one corner and there you have it--a pot holder.
Sure, it's not perfect. You'll notice one of the hearts isn't exactly centered because I goofed on my number of chain stitches. But I was proud of it--and you can be too.
Because this is our April Giveaway!!

I love that you do _so_ many different things Jennifer -- you're talented _and_ creative.
As a suggestion (you asked!) you might want to include some of your work into your banner as well as your avatar. It's a good way to get people looking at what you do. It'd also be useful, I think, to feature three of your products at the top of your shop -- I get a lot more views on whatever I have featured at the moment. (Convo me if you don't know how -- omshanti on etsy).
I tried to heart you but it doesn't seem to be working! I'll try again later.
Following your blog though! And I think I'll Twitter your contest, too, it seems pretty quiet here so far.
D'oh! Don't count this as an entry, I was looking at a category page so of course the featured items weren't there. :P
And _now_ I have managed to heart your shop. Might Twitter the contest again too!
Thanks Kate! I'√e thought about putting some of the items in my banner...but I'm not smart enough. My hubby is a graphic designer, so I'm thinking I'll have him do it for me. Thanks for your suggestions!
