For sometime I have admired my dear aunt laurel's hot pads, so the other day I decided to put forth an effort and learn how to crochet this masterpiece. I figured why buy something as simple as hot pads when I have an aunt with an incredible knowledge of them. Friday evening i gave it a whirl, and loen behold two days later I had a hot pad. The first one is not quite square but already the second is much better and they only will get better from here! The best part of this project is that while in the midst of doing it all, I realized that crocheting is so relaxing and a wonderful hobby to have. I kind of feel like a grandma when I do it, but who cares! It's so great to finally have something that is completely enjoyable and I cant wait to be making socks, ties, blankets, and sure why not sweaters. Or maybe I will just stick to hot pads. I guess we shall see. Not many people can say that they made a hot pad while watching Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part one so I must say it's not only a feesable hobby, or versatile, but memorable as well.
