[Nfb-krafters-korner] Lets get bacvk to crafting please

[Nella Foster]

I wonder if I could make several pot holders and then stitch them together
to make a light weight rag rug?

I thought it might be cute in the kitchen and it would be small enough to go
into the washing machine.

I like the idea of making place mats as well.

Absolutely, kids are taught basic weaving just like the weaving on a
potholder loom.

Harrisville has a good deal on the 7" hotholder loom and enough loops to
make I believe 4 potholders and there is even a tool included to help weave
the loops thru, but it is easier just using your fingers.

That is a memory for a lot of us making potholders on a loom.  I learned
that up at the play ground at the school during the summer when I was a kid.

Actually, I think it was last year I taught a class on making potholders.  

Harrisville still makes the potholder looms and have those wonderful cotton
loops.  Their prices have gone up since I was a kid.  Harrisville has come
out with a larger potholder loom that measures 10" square.  They make the
larger loops, too.

I  was just asked about the potholder looms on this list.

Joyce and all, when I was a girl, maybe 9 or 10, I used to make pot holders
on a loom and sell them in the small town where I lived. I found it to be a
very relaxing and easy craft. The most difficult part for me was taking the
pot holder off the loom. That took me awhile to figure out but I did it.
