Years ago I was into clothing construction and I made lots of sweater-type things out of cotton knits....I had a good sized piece left over from one project so I made a couple potholders to take camping.........they never left the kitchen! The were (and are) the best potholders I've ever had. They are STILL in the wash every week and I hate that they are looking sooooo bad but they are such good ones I hate to discard them. I've long since gotten rid of the cotton knits I once had piles of and I'm so sorry I did. Your potholders are great and appeal to both my "scrappy" preference and my love of the kitchen, cooking, baking. Thanks for sharing.
