Well. Thank you all so much for your questions yesterday! You have certainly given me…
Unraveling
I have some unraveling of a different sort today. Back on Black Friday, Harrisville Designs had a sale on potholder loops and I got myself the Bright Holiday Loop Pack. I love the other potholders I made so much and I thought some cheerful Christmas ones would be just the thing for the season.
And then they sat. And sat. And sat.
Finally, last weekend I realized if I wanted Christmas potholders for, say, Christmas, I’d better get cracking. However, in the few months since I made the last ones, I sort of forgot what I was doing. I messed up the first attempt completely. I finished the second attempt only to later discover it was wrong. By the third time I was in the swing of it and moving along quickly and then, while doing the bind off (or whatever you call it in this instance) a bunch of loops sort of jumped off the loom. I tried my best to fix it but only made it worse. I texted Sean and told him the loom was stressing me the eff (except I didn’t say eff, as I’m sure you know) out. Of course he came over to commiserate but then he actually fixed it.
Hooray!
And I proceeded to make two more without any trouble. So, my unraveling had a happy ending. And now I have Christmas potholders.
On the reading side of things, I am really enjoying Mr. Dickens and His Carol. It’s perfect for the season.
Whatever you are knitting, reading, creating or otherwise doing, I hope things are going perfectly well for you.

Self-unraveling projects are the worst! Enjoy your festive pot holders.
Us? We’re doing OK for now. The country, not so much.
I remember making potholders with my kids when they were little, and in my memory it’s a calming activity. It seems that’s not always the case. Thank goodness you have a potholder-rescuing neighbor; they look great!
I’ve kine of given up after the jumping off the loom fiasco at Thanksgiving. Sad.
Christmas Potholders! How cute and I’m glad Sean was able to save yer bacon!

Pretty pot holders!
Those potholders are a throwback,for me—loved making those potholders. Yours are beautiful and so Christmas!
LOVE the potholders! Merry Christmas!
Those are so cute! Happy holidays!
Too cute! And, really what a great idea!!
Those are just awesome Christmas potholders! (Yay for Sean.) I have made a lot of loop-potholders in my day, but never with planned patterns. Those are really great. XO
IMHO anyone who makes time to make Christmas pot holders is a domestic goddess. I certainly would never get it together enough to do that. I need to make me some new ones when all this chaos is over.
Yay for Sean coming so quickly to your rescue – those look great, Carole!
Oh man, those are so cute!
Those are awesome and so festive. I loved making potholders as a kid.
