{Post #831} Coaster, Take Two

Here is my coaster, again.  I started crocheting this one as I uncrocheted the first one, and added in a strip of black and two of light blue.  I got the knack of knowing where to add increase stitches from doing the first one.  These would make lovely Christmas presents.  The pattern in the magazine is for an oval-shaped trivet, but round is splendid as well.

This one measures about 5-1/2" across. 

New recipe for supper that does NOT appear to be a winner, but not to fear--there is bread baking in the oven, so all will be well.

{Post #830} Large Coaster

Above is a large coaster.  I thought about making it larger and using it for a trivet on the table.  It reminds me of old braided rugs.  I decided I don't like the cream, so I am going to "uncrochet" it and add other colors.  This is the product of 1/2" wide strips of cloth.  I developed a new way of attaching the strips to each other besides sewing them as the pattern suggests.  Very cute.
