No, just the crochet thread.

The middle is not separated. You crochet both sides at once, and there is no gap in the middle. It's pretty thick.

They sound amazing!

Some of the hot pads I have will still get hot if I hold something too long. If they get wet than I ca get a burn too

Ron, a friend of mine actually quit drinking when he woke up one morning in the ditch, in the middle of the highway that divided the 4 lanes, and discovered he'd been hit by a car.

My Dad was driving and a car stopped quickly in front of us without break lights(This was in the early 1970s) I was 12 or 13 at the time.

Quite an experience!

i love the homemade potholders and dish towels and especially the scrubbers. Diva, you should come out of retirement!

So every day now that the dog is a bit older we've been doing a "walk" - only about 15 minutes and just down the driveway, to the "main" road, back to the end of the dead end then back to the house. Been doing this walk for weeks. Today dog goes a little bit nuts on a snowbank that she's been past every single day (sometimes multiple times a day!) for weeks. She's obsessed with woody material (sticks, bark, leaves, dried grass) and it was near a tree that had fallen in the windstorm and had been chopped up and so I thought it was a nub of a tree. It was kinda frozen to the top of the snowbank, and she was really trying hard to free it but couldn't, and so I did it for her. Turns out it was a femur - near the knee - sawed off. Mind you on the earlier part of our walk she found a piece of bark and carried it proudly quite some distance. Oh she brought the femur home. BF confiscated it once he realized what it was. Last week she was let out to pee and brought home a rib.

When we first decided we were going to get a bloodhound I joked about finding the little girl that's been missing for years up here. Now...

I will ask my aunt, and cousin if they know how to make them, I'm pretty sure they do, and/or if they can give me the instructions on how to make them. I would buy the thread, and pay someone to make some of them for me.

Um, femur from WHAT??

Thanks true but, no one ever thanked me for the many, many,many potholders I gave away . Started making them in childhood after my big sister showed me how. Gave up some decades later when I couldn't find decent loops to make them from. I kept my little looms one plastic (icky) and one metal to pass on as heirlooms to the younger relations .

We have a box of those DW made when she was a kid. I don't think they look particularly useful. Pretty small and I'm not at all sure the loops the fabric is made of is heat resistant.

What a great dog you have!

Bruce - how do you know you don't just have random sawed off femurs on the side of the road? Go get a bloodhound.
