Hi Steemit :)

Last week I wrote about how my middle child wanted a placemat and I obliged her.

Well, it turns out that it wasn't just a placemat. During the week, the crochet creation was used to eat breakfast on, to wrap up a "baby," as a laptop mat, and as a sign that I loved one kid more than the others (and the husband too of course).

So I made another one. This week's used a combination of the same white thread I used in last weeks, and some brown "chocolate" colored yarn. They are different, but because they were worked up using the same hook, the same pattern and using a common thread, they look like a set.

Im guessing, Ive got at least two more of these to make before everyone in my family considers themselves loved enough to have momma crochet them a mat of sorts.

My spring break is going great and these work up fairly fast. I'll have enough for the whole family soon enough.

Thanks for visiting :)

I think you started a lovely family tradition... the multi-purpose placemat :-D
I looking forward to see the next mats and which yarn combination you will use

Thanks for stopping by. Today I started a white and blue one one today :)

😆 Happy Crocheting @metzli !
A great way to use up your stash of yarn... Also... you can join two together and make cushions (ha ha....that will keep you busy)

LOL. Thanks for visiting. They have asked for cushion covers before...

These work up so nicely! I love the colors on this one too!!!

They are a pretty quick project. Its #9 hook... hahah. crocheting with large hooks feels a little like cheating. I have a super extra large hook that I use for rugs/mats.

Oh trust me I love getting out my big hooks! It’s not cheating, you’re still putting in the work! 😉

Sometimes it’s more work now that I think of it - because some projects can be heavy.

Exactly!!

I'll message you on discord :)

and as a sign that I loved one kid more than the others

I died laughing. Pixie is soooo similar! I wondered if you would end up having to make one for everyone in the family--how funny!

Hahah. I’m glad I’m not the only one.

So cool! I haven't crochet in some time. You have given me an itch I need to scratch.
