Maura found the potholder looms in the guest room night stand this evening. I’d rummaged around for them when I’d visit but could not find them. What a happy find tonight.
Anna and her friend got right to work. Maura needed some help. I use knitting needles or pencils through the loop ends as I approach the finish. Keep it from popping off prematurely. Then a crochet hook to bind off.
Weaving these provides major stress relief for me. Over under over under. Under over under over- The repetition.
Reminds me of childhood, too.
I like them especially for hot pot lids
when I want to peek inside.
Stress? You’ve just retired! 🙂
Still remember making these!!!
Crafting is a wonderful stress reliever! The act of creation – especially when it involves rhythm or repetition – is deeply soothing. Therapeutic, even. A great find!
I always loved to make potholders when I was a child.
Reminds me of childhood, as well. I like the colors.
Timeless. I made them when I was young, and then my kids made them ….
I still have the black and gold one I made with you in “Elect”
Nicolette loves making them. I got a new loom for my birthday.
