Sue, I really like both. In my kitchen I would make the darker ones b/c my husband cooks all the time and is a bit, ummmm, messy :D

That is a great idea. I've been trying to decide what pattern to make for potholders. Thanks

Thanks...it is a little tiny bit more involved than some patterns but really worth the little extra work for nice gifts . I do find most people not use this sort of potholder but say they use them for hanging in the kitchen.

I would like the pattern for this. Is it available on line?
