Here I am bemoaning the fact that I cannot crochet, and I forgot to show you one of the last things I did do. Miss Fire King 9 x 9 Casserole is modeling one of the three pads I made just for her and her vintage oven glass friends.
We have metal trivets that we use for hot items, but whenever one of the oven glass pieces slides a bit on them I get nervous.
These double thickness pads took all of my worries away. They were an experiment, and will probably last for decades. I may never have to make any again.
Then again, waiting for this bum thumb to let me crochet again makes it feel as I may never crochet again at all. I have new yarn waiting, agggghh!
Your crocheted pads look like the perfect solutions to hot dishes sliding around. Plus they can be made in fun colors! Hope you heal quickly!
ReplyDeletePSp- I hope you find another chintz teacup like the one you wanted. Keep looking!
ReplyDeleteI love your dish AND your pads. I feel so sorry for your poor thumb!
ReplyDeleteMary, did you know that when you leave a comment on my blog, there is no email address connected to it? Some people want it that way but I thought I'd let you know in case you didn't know. ♥
