Irish Roses

I just love Irish Crochet.
The roses
& 
leaves
are so pretty.
A
red rose
is always so stunning
on a white background.
 
I have been playing around with different
flowers for the
Vintage Potholders.
{Yes ~ I am stuck on the darn things at the moment.}
 I decided things don't always have to be
rosy...
So I crocheted a
Pansy
for this one.
 
Oh!
And while we're onto lovely
purple
things....
Here's the cake I served for last night's
Knit Night.
Chocolate Cabernet Cake
made by my sister
Bridget.
The girls loved it!
{I am allergic to chocolate so I didn't have any.}
 
And now it's back to my crochet hook.
Can you guess what color this potholder will be?

  5. Allergic to chocolate...say it isn't so. My mother and siblings were not partial to chocolate so it was up to me to sustain my father's sweet tooth with chocolate chip cookies. How I miss him.

    Hugs and kiss sweetness, Genie

    1. That's what I said to the doctor after the testing many years ago ..."Allerigic to chocolate?!*#!!**!!:((((!!!!! Say it isn't so!!!"
      I bet you do miss your father. It sounds like you were truly blessed in the parent department.
      Love you My Sweet!
