I can't believe that my last post was my 200th.... To celebrate I thought it would be fun to host a couple of little handmade giveaway's.....
I've been so inspired by lots of different people through blog-land over the past couple of years and recently I stumbled across this gorgeous blogger who's blog has inspired me to crochet a potholder for the 1st of my 2 giveaways....

I'd love to hear what kind of potholders you use at your home, if any that is.
I've always just used a tea towel but am seriously thinking that 1/2 a dozen or more little crochet/knitted ones are definitely on the to do list before the year is out...

I'll draw the winner next Fri, 6th Nov....
The potholders are lovely! I just buy the ones from the store. Nothing special, they just work!
ReplyDeleteAs a crafter, you would think I would have tons of them around the house.
The potholder is gorgeous Jodie. Kate's are wonderful too arent they. I just those little cork boards for my hot stuff although Paul did once put something hot on the table like fish and chips once and the steam left a mark on it. I am hoping to find a way to remove it but havent as yet. I am sure your potholders will make lovely xmas gifts too.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on 200 posts
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat little potholder!
I usually use teatowels here, maybe I need to experiment?!
Congrats on your 200!
ReplyDeleteI usually use tea towels too :-)
that is just lovely.
ReplyDeleteWe use horrid commercial ones that are huge,thick and butt ugly!!!!
Congrats on 200 posts!!!!
hey Jodie you know your potholder should come and live with my little collection. It is gorgeous and would look so good hanging around on the wall here. I keep making them but still use store bought tea towels for the actual pot holding. Congrats on the 200 posts by the way.
ReplyDeleteI use the tea towels too or a glass stand for my hot things. Love the pot holder
ReplyDeleteThat potholder is so cute! I just have bought ones too... but nice fabric ones... Robert Gordon ones. Having said that... they are filthy... and I have to soak them regularly!!! Congratulations on 200 posts!!
ReplyDeleteI would love to throw my hat in the ring for that pot holder, I don't own any!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your 200th post. As a new reader I have a few to catch up on :)
She is inspiring isn't she? I'm seeing lots of rainbow potholders in christmas presents this year ;-) My potholders have mostly come from Ikea at this stage, though I see a whole lot of handmade in my future!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on 200 posts!
PS my verification word is stringsw - add an e and it's very appropriate today!!
200 posts... wow!! Great work. Your pot holder is beautiful. As you know I use a couple of potholders that I made out of some gorgeous gifted japanese fabric ;)
ReplyDeleteYour potholder is really lovely. Talking about inspiring... you have inspired me - I have been making dishcloths since I stumbled on your blog a while back and they are fantastic. Congratulations on your 200th post..
ReplyDeleteJodie gorgeous potholder I wish I had one I just use cork board ones not very fancy I know.

Your potholder is beautiful! I was lucky enough to get a couple from my great grandmother. The rest I have picked up in antique shops. I have a unique way of displaying them - I have hung them on a ribbon "clothesline" with mini clothespins over my kitchen window as a valance. It makes me smile!
ReplyDeleteI have to confess I just use a tea towel.Love your crochet design, too nice to use.
ReplyDeletebeautiful! I am slowly but surely teaching ,yself to knit. as soon as i start to learn to crochet i am in for the washcloth swap... soon soon soon... in the meantime would lvoe to win the potholder as a bit of inspiration! xo m.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on 200 posts Jodie! Your crocheted pot holders are wonderful - I mainly use oven gloves. Looking forward to another 200 inspiring posts.
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful! I usually just use a store bought oven mitt. These would probably make me want to cook even more!
ReplyDeleteHi Jodie - Congrats on 200 posts!!!
ReplyDeleteHaving been reading your blog and Foxs Lane blog lately I started experimenting with washcloths and loving it - nearly instant gratification.
Funny thing was, I read Foxs Lane blog before yours today and was thinking that maybe I should start experimenting with potholders too!!
Coincidence or what - I even asked her what yarn she uses.
At home I usually only use tea-towels - seems dull somehow now after browsing the blogs
Oh Jodie, these are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI'm getting hooked on knitted dish cloths so maybe pot holders could be next on my list......
Congrats on the BIG 200 !!!
stunning hun! I've got a couple of wee quilted jobbies that my Mum made for me, but a crocheted one would be afabbo! Completely in awe of your crochet talent :)
ReplyDeletehi
ReplyDeletewe don't really use potholders in the uk but i love the look of them and would love to win one!
do you have a pattern for this one please!

Jodie, I have just discovered this beautiful blog thru girls wear blue too, and I have to say What A Delight!
ReplyDeleteThe potholder, absolutely fantastic, but to think you stretch your talents in every possible direction is just an inspiration. We're about to have bub#2 and I am hoping to take a lot of time off being a WAHM, and to know that you are mainly self-taught is just awe-some!
Have a lovely week, and hope to see you over at my blog sometime - there should be pics by next week of the newbie and our son Ethan by then.
I have one of those double ended store bought pot holders but it's nearly on it's last so I would love to win your sweet potholder.
ReplyDeletewell i know what sort of pot holders i would rather be using....yours' are beautiful...:) i seriously must teach myself to crochet..:)
