No info yet on pot holders...but I'm still hopeful that someone will rescue me!! I found a book at the library on basic blocks, and I think just about any 8 inch or so block would make a nifty potholder. I did learn that the monofiliment thread might melt..that was a good tip! I would like to find just the right batting though. I have received many crocheted potholders over the years; beautiful yes, but I would often burn my hand. I'd like to make some that are safe to use.
thanks all!
thanks all!

Hi, I have used 3 layers of recycled denim, cordouroy, and heavy terry towels, and the silver backed batting and have had good luck with all of this. The silver backed heat resistant batting is available at most fabric stores and on the internet. I have seen it for about $4.50 a yd but can't remember how wide the yardage is. Hope this helps! :D
