We interrupt this project

To throw in another small project just because it needed doing.

I realized my desk coasters were looking horrific the other day.  Considered quilting new ones but decided I didn't want to work that hard.  Considered knitting new ones but decided I didn't want to work that hard.  Two evenings (which could have been one were it not for the tennis elbow) later I had two new coasters.

The pattern is Spiral Hotpads by  Carol Schoenfelder.  Done in either Sugar'n'Cream or Peaches'n'Cream, not a clue which since these were scraps from the bottom of the cotton yarn pile.  I suspect both are Sugar'n'Cream, one in Over The Rainbow the other in Winterberry since I tend to buy that brand more often, but I make no promises on that.  I only went through row 5 of the pattern, which is a little large for my coffee mug but it gives a little room for shrinkage as cotton yarn will do.  Granted I plan to hand rinse any spills out to keep the colors bright as long as possible.

And now back to the mitts I still need to finish.
