I love making those potholders for my family too! I add Insul-Bright Insulated Lining inside mine before I close them to add a little more hear protection :)

How do you attach it to the inside. Thanks!❤

@@brucepapp8826 I lay them on the inside and then use a sewing thread that matches or will blend with the yarn color and attach in the corners (so they don't move around when washing) and simply tight knots that will be hidden before seeming closed the potholder. :)
your cat opening the door and entering the room is epic lol 3:41

🤣😂 I didn’t even notice that!!! I was like what in the world?! And then went and watched 🤣🤣
When I am in a knit mood instead of crochet, I love Purl Soho double-thick pot holder pattern that gives the same effect. Also very quick knit and I have made over a dozen for gifts this season.
I interpreted Calvin's meows to say that if there is yarn in the mail, it's for him. It is SO good to see him in the videos-I miss him.
love those particular vanilla socks, love the homespun yarn color, legacy fibers gives me valentines day or christmas vibes, Love jelly of the month club
I love that apple sausage sliced and throw in with spinach, diced onion and then scramble eggs at the end. Its a protein dense breakfast but its a fan favorite in our house! its so good.

I loved Calvin's answer!
Kay, You make everything look lovely & easy 🤗
Those potholders are lovely. I love to receive a hand made gift and they are perfect x
that is my favorite potholder pattern as well! i recently made enough to put away for my grand daughters, for when they move out and have their own place! love the yarn! ♥
The pot holder looks great. Happy colours make cooking and baking fun. 🇬🇧
Thank you Kay for sharing your progress on you Coziest Memories blanket and your advents. I am thinking about using the blanket pattern for my temperature blanket 2024 😊 Loving your Vlogmas!!
Hi Kay. Love, love your new yarn holder you got in the mail. That material is gorgeous. I would use it all year round too. So good all your family love the cookies you bake even though it is cookie dough already made up. Gluten free food can be so yummy. I have never crocheted pot holders before. Great idea. I might do these for gifts next year. I love they don't take long to do as I am a fast crocheter as well much faster than knitting. so cute seeing your cat meow to answer you while he looks out the window. I hope you had a lovely evening with your family.
I wish I knew how to crochet.... those potholders are beautiful ❤
Kay, you are a Stay at Home, Work from Home, Mom/Wife/Incredibly Talented/Business Woman!💕💕💕✨️

Love the new project bad from Three By The Sea! What a nice gift!
The music 🎵 I sang along our choir sing this year. So beautiful potholders. Know the feeling of dirty looking potholders. Your mail so beautiful bag
The project bag is so cute! I saw you chain and yes you are fast, I am just a slow crocheter and knitter. The pot holder is a great Idea. The kitty is a sweetie. Now I am interested to see the yarn you are getting from Canada. Ancient Arts Fiber has a web site and the most beautiful yarns. A group of us knit there on Thurs afternoons
Aww, so nice! I love that 3btS bag too!
Love your black kitty Calvin. I used to have an all black cat too and I loved him so much. They are the best!
If the dogs aren’t watching you and waiting for dinner, your clock must be fast 😂 Enjoyed this potholder presentation. The only one I’ve seen like that is from Purl Soho that is knit. Good to have an option depending on how much my arthritis acts up on my right hand. Thank you 🙏
Those cookies are my fave! I have an egg, nut and gluten allergy (super fun lol) and I found these and it was a game changer. My kids love them too
Loved seeing sweet kitty #2 today 🥰
Thanks for the potholder idea. I have so much cotton yarn. I learned how to crochet this year so I will give this potholder a try I love seeing the progress on the grinch socks. They are so pretty!
Miss Sophie's furry ears perked up when Calvin was talking. Your reaction to the package from Three By The Seas Designs was so precious. Now that's real life!
Love those fur babies popping in😊
What a pretty yarn you are using for the potholders!
My daughter is gluten free and she loves those cookies! I’ve never tried them. Maybe next time. My cat, Finn, who looks exactly like Calvin turned around and looked at the tv when Calvin meowed. He’s watching now and waiting for Calvin yo come back!
Those cookies sure couldn't get any easier. I wanted to share that Amber of A Lovely Yarn podcast let us know yesterday that she and her family really like the Jovial brand of pasta.

I use to make those cute potholders. Think it's time for a few more. 😊
I am going to try my hand at making crocheted pot holders! I’ve only ever made the weaving on the metal loom variety. I am going to look for those gluten free cookies in my local store! Merry Merry
Isn’t it amazing how dogs know exactly what time it is? Same reaction to the yarn colors, stunning!
Thanks for the potholder pattern recommendation! I have wanted to replace my ancient, ratty ones for a while now.
So many blogs! I never did one before, and yours is the only one I never miss!
I make those potholder's, too. I was recently looking through my Pinterest board and email and folders on my computer for the pattern I made mine from cuz I hadn't made them in awhile and wanted to check it before starting some new ones for myself. I looked up the pattern you mentioned and it looks familiar. Not sure if it's the one I used before but it's the one I'm using now, lol! When I make mine, as I'm seaming it up, I work through the loops of the opposite side of the potholder every couple of inches to attach the two layers to each other so they can't slide or get pulled apart. It's a me thing, I just don't like to pick up a hot dish and have the layers slip across each other, makes me nervous that I'll drop it.
LOVELY POTHOLDERS!!! Will have to give them a try.
I've made those kind of potholders for friends. I had to make an extra for my neighbor because her husband kept stealing hers for the barbecue. My dogs were confused when your kitty meowed.
Gosh I've never crocheted pot holders...and I do have some Sugar and Cream yarn...hmmm. I'm more of an oven mitt gal...I need all the help not burning myself that I can get. I should probably have mitts to my elbows some days. Hope your package from Canada arrives soon! I remember when my daughter was young and I was a stay at home Mom, some people would say "what do you DO all day?" Uh, follow me around and see if you can keep up. There was such a stigma at one time that women that don't work outside the home don't do anything. I beg to differ....strongly! My husband always said he'd go broke hiring someone to do all the things I do. That bag is so adorable. I finished 1 pair of socks and have them blocking now, and SHOULD be working on my 2 grandsons' pairs. I have 2 MKALs I'm doing and both clues came out today so.......down that avenue I travel. :)

Yes!! It’s true about people asking what do you do all day. It’s non stop! Yes some days have more down time than others. But there is always cleaning, laundry, things to handle. It’s never ending! 😅😂
Thanks for Sharing ❤!! Happy Making 😊!!
You are crazy fast! Your blanket is getting big and looks so good.
Great Vlogmas episode. Aren’t the ladies of Three by the Sea the absolute best?
So enjoy your vlogmas' every year ❤ love Three By The Sea! I went and checked out her Vlogmas like you said, they are awesome!! It's amazing to see them I the warm/hot weather for Christmas! The cats and dogs are adorable, my miniature Schnauzer just turned 11.
I'm going to try that potholder! Thanks, Kay!!
I’m knitting and watching your video with my cat LuLu on my lap. She looked very confused when she heard Calvin meow. 🐈⬛
Thank you for sharing your pot holders. I can do those! In the past, I used to buy some from craft fairs but they weren’t suitable for grabbing hot things. I read somewhere that the material for ironing board covers may be a nice lightweight, heat resistant filler. 🤷♀️

Calvin and his meows when he was talking with you made me think of my late Cocoa. She would talk like that because she wanted to warn everyone she was in the room and not to step on her. I so feel your pain about being gluten free. I’m not gluten free; I’m soy free, and my mother is coconut and palm oil free. The taste is very different when you’re accustomed to soy-based products, and my husband will often taste-test things that others have cooked to make sure I can eat it. Like you, I always take my own food to gatherings when it’s not my family cooking. Your blanket is sooooo pretty! I’m still debating whether to make my own, especially since I misplaced three quarters of a quilt and have yet to find it.
The chicken spaghetti looked so delicious. Recipe please. ❤. We love the Adriel’s chicken sausage as well. Never thought of cutting them up.
Love those cookies. They are a great quick dessert.
Oh I have that same side table with the flip up tops on each side.

I have seen the Sweet Loren's cookies at our grocery store and had been hesitant to try them. With my food intolerances, I have been so weary about trying these (something that I can have all the ingredients). Might have to make a batch (or two) for when family comes into town over Christmas (severe peanut allergy for a nephew).
