Three potholders in three days

I have been trying to find which patterns work for potholders. The first pattern was one I made before, and is a simple weave design.


The next one, I made on the 4th. I wanted to use the same colors but a different pattern. After making it, I decided that I would abandon that pattern as it allowed some of the strings to be too loose.


The third pattern, I did yesterday. I wanted to see if I could thread a simple design into the potholder before finishing up the edge. In this case, the design was a cross. I also used a piece of thread along the edge for this one to give it a clean look.


The final pattern was one I did today. I chose the Oregon State University Colors and weaved a different design than I have before. I like this design, and will do others similar to it.


I will be giving the last two (along with several others) to my church's parking lot sale near the end of the month. The proceeds will go to benefit mission projects. It will also give me an idea of how much to sell them for.
