felted interlocking crochet hotpads

[ysmeine]

My hot pads doubled as samplers. With felting this technique I found less was more. It is best not to finish off a piece like you typically would. Also it looks better to leave off the last row of "b" side.


I have been fascinated with interlocking crochet lately. It is a fun technique with interesting patterns. I was concerns about it in certain applications though. The mesh work would allow hooks and needles to slip through so a project bag would need to be lined. Lining would negate the purpose of a reversible fabric. Felting also make great coasters and I am thinking a rug as well.

I was SO in love with your work and the interlocking crochet that I've been searching for anything else interlocking for 3 days now. Yesterday I got the book from the library "Interlocking Crochet" by Tanic Galik.

Now I have to come back up for air and finish gift wrapping, cleaning and baking before tomorrow. How do you pack 3 days of work into 1?
