Who had one of these when they were a kid?

Oh I did! I think I have something similar now. Or my mother did, and I inherited it.

 

[JustBonee]

Heavens! I still have a couple of those in my sewing supplies. .. Granddaughters make pot holders every once in a while. You can still buy the yarn.

 

[Sassycakes]

I had it and I loved it !

 

[debodun]

I took it on vacation when we went to the coast of Maine one year. I sold the potholders I made to other people at the resort/campground; three for a dollar. A bargain even at 1960s prices. I wonder how many are still around?

What is it & what does it do?

 

[debodun]

It is a loom to make yarn loop potholders.

Ditto.
Is it a pattern holder maker for yarn making items?

 

[Ruthanne]

I had one and used to sell the potholders for 50 cents a piece to the neighbors. I loved making them!

 

[charry]

[debodun]

A saucepan pot.

To hold onto hot pots, hot casseroles and the like.

 

[win231]

Well, it looks nice, but not something I would trust. I do trust my "Ove Glove."

I suppose you could put your stash in there.

 

[Aunt Bea]

We made those potholders at the community pool when we were kids.

We also made plastic boondoggle key chains.

 

[Ruth n Jersey]

I remember making those pot holders. I never used the hook for the edges. I did better with my fingers.

 

[Pink Biz]

Never saw it, never had it, never used it!

 

[toffee]

hahaha seen it all now --

 

[mike4lorie]

Never seen such a contraption before in my life... was wondering how you would use such a thing for building or in the garage, or even to cook with...

 

[Fyrefox]

While I didn't have one of those as a guy, I remember seeing lots of them around with colorful pot holders being generated almost compulsively...

 

[Lynk]

My sisters and I made potholders and sold them door to door.

 

[Sassycakes]

I can't count how many pot holders I made when I was young. If was one of my favorite things to do.
