Coasters!

 










As i said in my earlier post, i am working on some small projects. These are some of the coasters i am making. The three coasters on the left are my own design They have the same amount of stitches and were made using the same hook but the sizes are not the same, only the cotton was different. I love experimenting to see what comes out. Sometimes it's somewhat strange and gets unpulled (I seem to do a lot of that), but sometimes it works out 'ok' as these did. Of the three on the right, two are my design the cream coloured coaster is from a pattern i found online and is just a 'practice' piece. It is a bit fiddly to start but gets easier as you go along.

Nice to see you blogging again Tina and I hope you are feeling better. Your coasters are lovely - you ought to have a think about joining in the coaster exchange on AC. Cheers, Dorothy

Nice to see you back and best wishes and prayers that you will be better. Your doily coasters are so very pretty. I love the small ones, always so nice to have scattered around. Have a good day.
