There is certain vibrant charge to the air when spring seems to be nearing.
A newness. A deep, strengthening sigh. A feeling of ahhhhhh....
I love that feeling. And walking through the house with the sun's warmth through the windows, I start to visualize all that spring entails.
For starters, what's certainly needed are spring-like potholders.
More specifically -- ones that will help usher in spring with their cuteness & quaintness.
From here:
....the perfect spring-like potholder.
This is Henrietta.
She was sooooooo easy & quick to crochet & I used my g hook & Lily Sugar 'n Cream yarn.
Now.
Hopefully spring does indeed arrive soon (and that nasty weatherman has got it all wrong with his forecast of 8 in. of snow by Wednesday morning.....)

Oh Miss Henriette is a darling gal! Sure looks easy enough to figure out :)
Loving that shade of blue. Miss Henrietta is a darling and would suit my sister-in-laws kitchen in a green/orange combo. Cherrie

So darling! I may have to find that book so I can make a Henrietta of my own!

Hallo,
Henrietta is beautiful.

Henrietta is so very charming, love that she brings a smile on the face whenever you see her. And the colours - I am always in love with that certain blue and the red and yellow makes it even more pretty. I could imagine that Henrietta looks good, too, on a pillow or bag, very funny and cheery. Most lovely.
Oh she's just gorgeous, I love her.......definitely Springlike.
She would brighten up any kitchen on a dull, grey day.
8inches of snow, wow.....

What a delight your blog is, and Henrietta is so cheerful! Thank you for being an inspiration to me!
P.S. Do you do your own photography? It's gorgeous!
Such a cute potholder - actually too cute to use - think I would hang her on the wall! The good thing about snow at this time of the year is that it will not last long - spring is right around the corner!
I LOVE Henrietta!! I went to Annie's Attic to find the book but it must be out of print. Is this a new booklet or have you had it a while? I sooo want a Henrietta of my own. Thanks, gelswood@aol.com
Beautiful hen! So pretty and Springy.
Our Wednesday is coming to an end on this side of the world. I wonder if you are getting the predicted snow. That book looks like it has some absolutely adorable projects. Henrietta is so very sweet. Have a great rest of the week. Tammy
Aww, I love your Henrietta! She is really sweet.
I've been wanting to try a pattern for a potholder that is a shape of some animal or thing. I've seen a Scottie dog and a cottage and a few other things I'd like to try.
This is SO cute!!!! Thank you for sharing!!! I will have to try this, too!!! :O)
Thanks for enabling me to go out and purchase the book so I can make myself a chicken potholder (DO NOT TELL MY HUSBAND)!!
Henrietta is very pretty <3
have a nice week-end

Henrietta looks so cute. That seems to be a very interesting book of potholders.

Henny Penny is so cute, what a lovely idea to share with your readers. Thank you! Great colours and so cheery, would make working in the kitchen so much happier I'm sure.
Henrietta is precious. I will have to make her a sister to stay at our house! Thanks for sharing.
She is absolutely darling! Spring has to be arriving soon - it's going to be 60 here in Ohio by wednesday.....I'll try and send the weather your way!

Olá amiga.Postei hoje em meu blog um passo a passo de uma florzinha de crochê.Não sei se você já sabe faze-la,mas dê uma olhad lá.A traduçaõ do Google é meio falha, mas eu tenho um gadget no meu blog logo no começo é o que tem umas bandeiras e stá escrito,Translator Widget by Dicas Blogger,ele é melhor para você traduzir meu blog.Que DEUS abençoe a você e sua familia.Kisses
Oh, I just made myself a little rooster, but he's not a potholder.. Your Henrietta potholder is SO-ooooo CUTE!!! Just love her! ~tina
I love Henrietta! I also love the tatting and pillowcase in your previous post. I inherited my grandmother's tatting shuttles and learned how to tat from books. My grandmother tatted from the smallest thread--sure wish I could do that. I have trouble doing it with #10 thread. I have so much knitting and crochet to do and the tatting will have to wait.
Love,
Marie
I love your Henrietta! I can't find the book, though. Any way we can get the pattern from you? I would love to make some of these for a dear friend.
wow! I really really just love this potholder!! Henrietta is zo cute! she really fits spring! She lights up my day! I want to make this potholder Henrietta!!
