Another big shout out to Tamara Kelly over at Mooglyblog.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Remember how I said I get a little obsessive with variations on a theme<\/a>? \u00a0Well\u2026 now I’m working on these trivets<\/a> and my brain just keeps imagining new combinations of colors to try. \u00a0After working through my kitchen colors and some Christmas colors I thought\u2026<\/p>\n

hmm…<\/p>\n

why not a sunflower?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So – still working with what I have in my stash I found a suitable gold, brown and green and started to experiment. \u00a0And I LOVE how it turned out! \u00a0Even better that I’ve made enough of these that I have the pattern memorized so I can work through a trivet fairly quickly without stopping to review the stitches. \u00a0This is what kept me busy at my daughters’ 2-hour softball practice the other night :). \u00a0Love a hobby you can take with you! \u00a0(And special thanks to the other softball mom who gave me valuable feedback on the design!)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

First, I tried using green for the base mesh. \u00a0The green showed through in the center (which I wanted to be all brown) so I made a new base with brown for the center of the mesh and then changing to green for the rest.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The green still showed through the gold on top so I made a second trivet and this time made the rounds in the base in colors to match what was going to be crocheted on top. \u00a0Here’s a quick iPhone snap of the completed base for the size I made (eek!! \u00a0Tamara – you will have to ignore that I was lazy and did not do a seamless join in my last row! \u00a0lol\u2026 old habits die hard!).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And here is the back with the new, coordinating base\u2026 much better!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

These turned out super cute! \u00a0A little retro with the olive green and gold and brown\u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Thanks again Mooglyblog.com<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
