Remember those potholders you made as a kid on a plastic loom?!?  Well, I recently discovered what I call Big Girl Potholders!  These are not your Mother's potholders, they are beautiful and no end to the patterns you can make with the newer cotton loops and looms. You can make smaller or larger ones.

I also quilt, but can't seem to finish them, so have gone down in size to potholders (mini quilts) found a good pattern for those, and my daughter and granddaughter have worn theirs out and asked for more! 

I also do some crocheting, down in size to dish cloths for those! 

I too have a cat that loves to "help" by playing with or sitting smack down on my project - Cat Very Happy

@HerRoyaLioness  Those pot holders are beautiful. 

Back in the mid 60's, I made and sold potholders (25 cents a pair) to raise money for the JFK Memorial Library

 

Last year, I bought a loom and loops for my granddaughter and she made one!


Thanks.I am going to look into this. Need a hobby.
