caffe latte potholder

Yum. Coffee in any of its flavors or varieties is a liquid love in my every day life.

~~

A mystery wrapped in brown,

A fragile enigma,

Enveloping the senses,

With the earthy steam

Of a bean.

The mind wrapped in warmth,

The essence of dark roast,

Heating from within,

The senses thrill,

With every lingering

Sniff of the aroma

In the mug.

So I got busy with my mocha colored yarn and added milk white and bright aqua to complement the rich hue of coffee.



And I have seen this lovely potholder pattern that have seen pop up all over the web. Seeing it the first time I would have never believed that it is crocheted as individual blocks and then crocheted in a line with simple border of single crochet. (This is where my daughter wrapped it around her hips and determined it would make the cutest of belts.....hmmm.)

Then a gathering stitch is made through the center of each block and the flower begins to form.

But the real beauty is seen when the corners of each block is finger-pressed to form these caffe latte petals.

It reminds me of the foamy goodness in a steamy cup of caffe latte.
