Thank God we had two months to finish these potholders! I had a small collection of bottle caps that I started with,but soon ran out of. I enlisted my husband and friends to save theirs for me. Now, that I've finished using them, my husband doesn't know what to do with his. To him, it now seems a waste to throw them away.
I used every minute of it working on these darlings. I would crochet in the car, at the kids Doctor appointments, during knit nights, watching movies, and everywhere in between. Even once I finally got all 95 caps covered, I still had to sew them all together! : )
All the work aside, I absolutely love the way they turned out. They are very sturdy and they stay put when you set them down. (I find very important when you trying to put a pot on it.) Being crochet thread, I know they will last a lifetime with proper care.
So, to those of you who receive my lovelies, take care, enjoy, and know that a lot of love and hard work went into these.

Thank you! I've thought about writing the pattern down for everyone. It's not hard, but time-consuming.
I got one of your hot pads in the swap! (the pink, green & yellow one) I love it so much!
Thank you,
