OMG - I had a red potholder loom as well!!! Your story could have been written by me! Thanks for the memories. In fact I, too, have two potholders that I made!!

I can outdo my sister (Pups). I have EIGHT of those potholders, not counting the one I currently use next to my stove! They ARE the best! We don't remember what happened to our original metal "loom", but we found a plastic one some years ago - and it was HORRIBLE! It would bend when you got those loops on the thing and they would sort of "fly" off. We did find a metal frame and that's how I got my stash of 8! Great memories.

My daughter had one but plastic. I think we went through 2 of them because they are so flimsy. I wish I had seen a metal one! We still have tons of the ones she did for us. We finally gave the kit away last year, in hopes that some new kid would enjoy it.

oh I used to love weaving too. Fabulous looking pot holders, and a great memory page.

I remember those! I had one too. But I honestly didn't create any artsy patterns with mine. I'm sure I was limited by the color palette of my bands. And mine was a red metal one too. I have picked up a few of these woven potholders at craft sales. Now I know why. Memories.

I had one of those metal looms back in my childhood but never had any interest in it. Now I have soapstone counters so 'straight from the oven' can go on them and all my tables have polyurethaning. Great story @flowersgal and I do like that black and white design a lot.

Oh my did you bring back memories! I had totally forgotten how many of these we used to make!! Thanks for the walk down Memory Lane!
