loop de loop : potholder binge

now they tell me, exclaims MrsFoley as she fingers the LOOP TIPS advice that came in the latest bag of loops

If the loop is too thick skip a peg / if the loop is too skinny put two skinny ones together

okay

MrsFoley's tip : when they dont stretch enough to go from one peg to the opposite or are misshapen or thready  chain them / roll the chain into balls / weave them into rag rugs

(see MrsFoley learned to make potholders with a little red loom and colourful loops when she was 7-8 yrs old / every few years she honors her inner child with a potholder binge / marvels at what kind of a child she had been to have the patience in this !

it was darn tricky to make those pot holders (i just noticed spellcheck thinks potholders should be two words)

perseverance furthers
