After listening to a chickadee in the tree outside my living room all week, I finally had to knit her into a potholder. Instead of black and white though, I used light blue and navy and really liked how it turned out. I did it in double knitting and cotton. Sing away little bird!

Back to some scrubbies
I needed some quick and colorful projects that I can complete in a day. I have been making lots of hats so I complete two or three a week but I wanted to do some more. So here are some scrubbies I have completed. I could make three in a day but I usually only do two at the most. The pattern is included below. It is fast with one color, variegated yarn, and two colors.
