Perfect Pie Potholder - done!

[patelyne]

A little Bit of Check Please fanart
(because Bitty would absolutely NEED to have these in his kitchen, you can’t change my mind)

The first knit-though of my pie potholder is done!

I have a small-ish list of changes that will need to be made before I’m finished with the pattern, but I’m pretty happy with this first draft.
Happy enough I’m crossposting this thing everywhere, soooo if you follow me everywhere - sorry? I am just really excited it turned out how I pictured in my head!

That's adorable and Bitty would have several, one each in every type of pie he makes.

Thanks - and So True!
I had originally wanted apple, but it doesn’t have that same color pop. Now blueberry.. that would be nice too :D

[stasia]

Use a darker brown for the apple; the cinnamon and spices darken it quite a bit. :D Blueberry and peach and pumpkin and ....

Potholders for days! They’ll multiply like jars of jam during finals week :D

BTW, my husband, who generally doesn't like things made to look like other things (like cow creamers, for example), saw this over my shoulder, thinks it's adorable, and wants me to make a set of them. WE HAVE A WINNER! *grin*

Lol that’s awesome! I’ll be working on my pattern re-writes and re-knit this week so hopefully I’ll have a final version soonish :D

[oakmouse]

Yay!

Oh that is extremely adorable, I want twelve! And I do happen to need new potholders since dearest keeps accidentally leaving them lying on hot surfaces until they start smoldering... how functional are they? I guess I would have to watch out to use natural materials so they don’t just melt, do you recommend wool or cotton?

[patelyne]

Thank you! I’m planning on this being used more as a hot pad/trivet, but have had other cotton polders work great. As long as there’s at least a double layer of fabric thickness my hands have been safe.
Cotton or wool are both good for these. I choose cotton because it’s machine washable and I can be a very messy cook, but if yours keep getting left on the cooktops etc wool might be better. I’m pretty sure I read somewhere wool is less prone to catching fire.
I have heard some people swear by acrylic being fine, but I don’t understand how and it never seemed worth the risk, especially with cotton being so cheap anyway.
