Every little girl, at some point, has been given a little red loom and a bag of cotton jersey or nylon loops, and told to weave under and over to make a potholder. And every little girl has done so, and ended up with a stack of nearly useless squares. So you give them to your mother, who smiles, and shoves the dang things in a drawer because they really don't make good potholders. They are too small. or too thin. And unless the little girl is an artistic genius (you don't have to weave under and over on an even one to one basis--you can make textures in the weave by offsetting one then two, or some other pattern) they are all ugly and all the same. So this design is in tribute to all those little potholders that will be made with Christmas presents and given for Mothers Day or birthdays, or made to eliminate summer vacation boredom. And this is a tribute to all those drawers that are storing the damn things until the little girl is old enough to go away to college, so they can be given to the second hand charity store, or thrown out.
