a bit of wonkiness

Last night we went to a Circque du Soleil performance.  We had so much fun but by the time we got back home, I was much to tired to post.

I have been needing new pot holders or oven mitts.  After being horribly disappointed in what is available to buy, I made some.  The middles of these are felted sweaters.  I wanted a bit of wonkiness and nothing quite straight, so I did not measure anything.

This is a lot like making nine squares for me.  Very restful but also a quick project.   

I like making beautiful practical things and these pot holders fit that.  I actually have some more I am making so I can wash them.  Those will be filled with scraps of batting since I ran out of sweaters.  More beautiful practicalness on the way.  It is like the quote from William Morse:  "Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful."
