The world's smallest potholder... So Anne found out that my cousin Melissa from Wisconsin will be celebrating her birthday with us up in Atlanta this weekend. As soon as she heard that, she started digging out every single homemade gift so could possibly make for her. Melissa will be bombarded with homemade keychains, bracelets, and posters. Anne also decided that Melissa really needed a potholder. About 5 minutes into making it, Anne realized that making potholders really kind of sucks and left the rest of the job to me while she went on to something more fun like a homemade jewelry box that Melissa couldn't possibly live without. Okay, now I certainly never claim to be crafty but I do know how to make a damn potholder... or at least I thought I did. It all started out fine. It took me a while but I finally got the hang of using that stupid hook thing and then figuring out how to loop the ends over each other to finish it off. I was pretty proud of my potholder. Until I took the last one off and discovered I ended up with this.



Here is another shot so you can see just how small this thing really is.



What the heck?

So Melissa, if you ever need to just heat up a fork or something, you have the perfect potholder!
