July 1966 - Toilet paper cover

Do we really know what day or month it is anymore?  I took a brief trip to July 1966 to bring you the toilet paper cover I promised last week.

I used Red Heart Classic yarn that looked vintage in pink, blue and white. The green is Red Heart Super Saver.   I used the suggested size hook; a J.
​
The pattern starts out with the motif that’s used in all three pieces of the ensemble.   It was a fun motif to make and the green had an interesting cluster pattern.

​Once the motif was done, the white was started and worked under the green into the last pink row.   I wasn’t sure it was going to fit our big rolls of toilet paper but it actually fit pretty well.

Next week I’ll have the mini-planter (and it really is mini) finished.  There was a problem with the way the pattern was written so I have a failed planter to go along with what I think the pattern was meant to be.

Just for fun, here's one of my favorite photos in the April 1980 issue.  I wonder what's in that notebook?
