Functional or decorative?

There's a new pot holder in town!

I had thought to make 2010 the year of functional crochet. With all the time I spend crocheting, I could clothe our family. And then I could still make some pot holders, but actually usable ones rather than the t-towels I currently use.

But then when we hung them on the wall the other day I fell in love with them all over again, and its such a big space that could fit so many more, and I have a few patterns I'd still like to try out...

I decided to ask Bren how many little nails he had in the house and limit myself to that many pot holders, but when he showed me the nails I changed my mind.

I've also been hooking along on the bunting for the stall.

Bren's preferred fabric bunting can hang out the front but there's still three more sides to decorate I think.

I hope day four of the 2010 is a happy and sunny one for you.
