Instructable for Dishcloth/Potholder

Here's a link to a very cool website I haven't yet mentioned on this blog... Instructables.com. I like the tutorials here because they're so visual.

I found instructions for one project that reminds me of my ReadyMade MacGyver challenge entry- how to make a dishcloth from a recycled t-shirt. With the right material, you could also use these for potholders. Check it out!

Homecoming Potholders

My friend Tomoka recently returned to her hometown of Nagoya, Japan from Buffalo. We spent 3 lovely, ice-cream filled years together here as grad students, and I am really sad that she's gone. Once she got back, Tomoka sent us a package filled with information about visiting her in Japan, which we intend to do soon. She also enclosed two Hello Kitty buttons in the package. I decided to use them as adornments on the potholders I made for her as a housewarming gift since she just moved into a new apartment. So these particular Hello Kitties came from Japan, spent about 3 weeks in the U.S., and are now on their return flight.

I don't know what's prompting it but I find I've been sewing a lot lately. My newest obsession is making knitting needle/crochet hook holders. I'm sure I'll post about those in the coming days.
