Patty's Flower Pot Holder.

Yesterday I was at play group at a local cafe when my phone rang. I recognised the caller's name immediately as the author of a blog I read. We have never met but we often leave comments on each others blogs.

We chatted for a bit and then made plans to meet up later in the week.

When I got home it occurred to me how interesting our conversation had been. Although we are in effect strangers we skipped over the whole get to know you phase and got straight into the nitty gritty. We chatted so easily, like old friends, although I'm sure if we walked past each other in the street we wouldn't know one another.

I have only been a blogger for close to five months and posted 65 posts (on this blog), but I am totally overwhelmed by the community, the encouragement and the inspiration I encounter daily. Thanks so much you guys!

My sister Meg, who teaches a blogging class at Neighbourhood house, tried to convince me to start this blog for years but I didn't get why. Now I can't imagine life without it. Thanks Meg.

I made Patty's Flower pot holder the other day from some of the cotton I bought last Friday at the Bendigo Woollen Mills.

Usually I ignore the part of the pattern for making the back but as this one was a bit lacy I decided to have a go.

I even remembered to crochet it a hook.

There are three days left until I draw my giveaway, have you entered yet?

Does anyone know how to find one of those random number generator things to draw the winner?
