I love that pattern! It's one of my favorites, so quick and easy. I did a ton of those last Christmas as my Mom had requested some potholders/hotpads for her staff for Christmas.

Your title for this post makes a great motto! That is exactly what I want to remember to strive for: create awesomeness in even the simplest projects! I have printed this out to post prominently as a reminder to myself.

(And those *are* really cool potholders. I would also love to know where the pattern is from.)

Have a great day, Jennifer

This pattern is absolutely gorgeous. I too would love to try making this. Where did you get this pattern?

I saw this pattern on ravelry. It was through the European crochet group. Just go through their posted projects. I think it is the color combinations that really make these sing. So awesome.

To hookX3, thanks for the tip that the pattern is on Ravelry. I found it easily by searching in patterns there. It is called the Starburst Hotpad and was designed by Loretta Schepp. Hope this further info will help any others who want to find it. It is a free pattern.

This is really an awesome pattern and the color combination is so lovely and cheerful.
Thank you for posting this for us to see and be inspired.

Happy crocheting,
