sg-creations

My mom’s best friend saw the Red and White Rooster pot holder and since she has been so sweet and helpful to me and my mom, I decide to knit a pot holder for her too.

She didn’t tell me what type of design she liked, but my mom always talked about her lovely yard.  She always is so lively and full of life, so I thought this little bird getting ready to fly was just the fellow for her.  It stated out just as a bird, but then I decided to give it a little crown and some berries for a sprinkle of holiday and to go with the red and white theme; so now it’s a cardinal in a thicket of berries.

They don’t have cardinals here on the west coast, but I do remember them in TN and MA as a little girl.

Finished size: 7-1/4″ x 7-1/4″

Yarn: Sugar’n Cream, Red and Off White
