Several years ago I let my friends Steve and Sara use the house for a week's vacation. One of the cute appreciation gifts they left me was a couple of pot holders they made from a loom they bought at the Sag Harbor five and dime store (a place out of a time warp that warrants it's own posting someday).
Funnily, I've used those potholders a lot over the years. They've gotten a little timeworn but I love the colors, and especially since they were a gift, they fondly remind me of my friends.
A while later, my little niece made me yet another pot holder on her loom...I love that one too.
So you can imagine when I was in that store the other week and ran across a loom kit I just had to have it. I even bought an extra bag of the fabric strips to make some more potholders as gifts.
I love designing the plaid patterns...it's mindless fun.

I think that I will make several of these and stitch them together to make a tea cozy for my little tea pot...stay tuned for that!
