Hi Joan,

I know you can make those trivets…the chart and video definitely help…and they are fun to make, to be honest.

Thanks so much for your kind comments about the blog, in general. I’m thrilled you are so happy to receive the weekly newsletter. I stumbled into this job 9 years ago and just really do enjoy it! But, my enjoyment is in direct relation to the enjoyment of my readers! So it really does thrill me to receive emails like yours. I’ll know it is time to wrap it up when I stop getting them. 🫨

Enjoy your day!

Hugs,

Never purchased any though, and I don’t know why…I really haven’t seen them around much. BUT, I also examine things all the time to see how I could make it myself. But, sadly, sometimes it probably costs me more…but then again…I WANT to do it! So, I will be trying this soon I hope. Thank you for the instructions, and hints. Love your blog…I get excited when a new post arrives. 😊 SPRING is coming! Love to you and the family.

But give this project to person, like myself, who has ADHD and OCD, this was an experiment in practicing mindfulness and patience and there truly is something to be said, in learning something new, as an adult and doing this for myself. As opposed to being an eleven year old me and this being our assignment. I’ll take the grownup version, any day of the week! LOL!

Hi Michelle,
A like-minded crafter! Yay! I think you will enjoy making the trivets and will get the hang of it quickly. Will you be making them as gifts?

I have not washed them yet. If I needed to, I think I would not put them in the washing machine. Instead, I would hand wash them in cold water and re-shape them before letting them dry. I don’t think you’ll have a problem. That being said, I am away from home right now. But when I get home, I’ll try washing one. I think it’s a great question.

Hugs,

Lynn

I had never seen one before and I fell in love with the feel and form of it, yet didn’t buy it ($8) I, like you, figured I could make one. Thank you for taking the time to produce this video. It is saving me a lot of time from a trial and error method. Question for you… Have you ever washed your coasters or trivets?

Hello Nilufer…are you talking about a potholder that you would hold in your hand or one that you would put on table to put your pot on? My post does show how to make a trivet on which to put a a pot on while on a table, but not sure you would want to make a hand held potholder as I think the rope might separate and cause a burn.

Let me know if the trivet is what you are looking to make and I will be glad to help.

Have a great day my friend.

Hugs, LYnn

Hi Jess…once you get the hang of it I imagine you could turn one coaster out in under 30 minutes…Think they’d be great wedding favors! Great idea. Get your fiance in on the action…you could whip out a bunch watching TV.
