La Petit Dress

Yesterday I posted pictures of my Little Dress Potholder which was actually larger than the pattern meant for it to be due to the yarn I chose. So last night I decided to crochet one using cotton crochet thread in red and ecru for a much more petite one. I LOVE IT! This one is more like the vintage potholders we find when we scour the Antique malls. I took a picture of the two together to show the size difference. I still like my oversized one as well. But I will be making more of the little ones to sell and give as gifts. What cute Mother's Day Gift's they would make! Anyway, just had to give you a peek.

Happy March 1st Everyone!
Spring is just around the corner...
YAY!!!

  1. Danette,

    I think my heart stopped a little bit. You are lightening quick. It is absolutely adorable.

    Can't wait to see what more you have in store.

  2. OH Thanks Eugenia! I just love to play with yarn! These little dresses are sweet aren't they? Today's project is a crocheted baby blankie so it will take a bit more time.
    Have a great day!

  3. Hi Danette.
    What a lovely pot holder!
    Yes, the cotton does give it that wonderful vintage look. And boy, you are quick! (But good too).

    1. Thanks Fi! I actually do have very fast fingers! I have to work at being slow when I am working with students. I used to work in banking and the customers used to get a kick out of watching me count money like greased lightening. I used to train bank tellers and had to work at slowing down for thier sakes too. What can I say, I'm a fast woman! Ha!

  4. Hi Danette! That is the cutest pot holder!! Why is it that anything mini is even cuter than the original? xoxo Debbie

    1. Thanks Debbie! I know ~ I think the mini stuff brings out the little girl inside all of us! Just like baby things. There's always that ooh~aah factor.

    1. Thanks Julie! I know~ I would never use one. I have a couple of vintage ones and wonder if people really ever used them. I wouldn't want to ruin them. Of course we have to remember they were taking things out of the oven in dresses, pearls and high heals! So they probably did use these little cuties after all!
