When you go to a store to purchase potholders, you typically have a choice of only one size – a small circle or square that only fits under your smallest pans. What you really need and want is a variety of sizes to fit under ALL of your pans, including cookie sheets.

Inspiration can come from anywhere. This table runner pattern mimics the gentle ripples in water created from a soft, spring rain. The motifs are crocheted individually, then attached together. With these instructions, you can create the layout shown here, or, by picking and choosing which motifs to make, you can create an unlimited array of co...

So, here we are in the middle of winter in the midwest. Christmas is over. Snow is on the ground. The temperature is in the teens. And everyone around me is complaining about how cold and miserable it is. Me, I enjoy winter – as long as I don’t have to interact with it too much. I love the look of snow on the ground, the crispness in the air. I...

This isn’t your everyday potholder…and yet it is! I don’t know about you, but more times than not, dinner is baked in the oven on a cookie sheet. So when the pan goes from oven to table, I have to use multiple potholders to protect my table surface. That made me wonder, “Why are most potholders so SMALL??”

For me, using baskets solves a lot of organizing problems. For example, we have that tiny room in our bathroom that houses just the toilet. I could do the typical “store extra TP on top of the tank” thing or buy one of those contraptions that allows you to stack several rolls on a “decorative” pole. But that’s not how I roll.
