Crochet: Coffee Break Mat

 

 

 

 

Coffee Break Mat is this week's craftling.

 

 

 

It's the first crochet project

I have made a for a long time. I think.

It's certainly the first for 2012.

 

 

 

I think.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You have just had a coffee haven't you?

 

 

I have!

How did you know - do I need to eat a mint?!

 

(where's my tic tacs?)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Probably, but the big clue is your wired mumblings.

 

 

wired + mumblings = wumblings

Bahhahahah!

 

 

My point exactly.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So your first crochet project for 2012 is a coffee mat.

 

 

 

It is!

I found the pattern in a Japanese crochet book.

 

I love it!

 

 

 

Coffee clue no 2 =

The overuse of exclamation marks in your post.

 

 

 

 

Wha?!

Where?!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's got a lovely retro feel, your mat.

 

 

 

It has, hasn't it. 

It's also very easy to make.

 

 

You know, I really enjoyed Ryan Renyold's new film  

Safe House. 

My abs were almost as tight as his at the end of it.

 

 

Focus!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Will you be making more of these mats?

 

Probably, I have seen similar patterns I like.

 

 

Especially

as it's actually quite a challenge for me keeping

 those stitch spaces straight.

 

 

They just want to slant all over the place!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ahh, a new self improvement challenge.

 

 

I guess so.

 

Watch this space!
