Have been making these potholders as a stress reliever. Finally decided to put them up for sale. Kid's stuff I know as I made plenty of them in the 50's and 60's. I have no idea where thought to start making them again came from but it's been sort of fun and yet frustrating as I keep breaking the plastic looms and the needles. So far, I haven't found a metal set but will keep looking. I didn't have much to soothe me back then aside from doing this and sorting buttons. We used to have a Minnesota Woolen Mill lady come every summer with fabric and accessories to sell. It was amazing! The smell of the fabric was wonderful and she had boxes and boxes of accessories. One year she came with this shoebox full of buttons to sell, Mom bought it and I had my down time activity. I sorted and counted those buttons for years as something to do between helping to cook meals for the haymen or to keep quiet while Mom rested. I don't have any buttons to sell... so these hot pads will just have to do!
