One day, I crocheted this set, while helping my aunt care for my terminally-ill mother. This set consisted of a double-sided potholder, cup cozy, and 4 coasters. I used 2 different colorways with Red Heart Yarn: Pink Camo and Petal Pink. A good place to find these, are on Amazon, if other retailers are out of stock. What I did was pull out how every many lengths of yarn, snipped, and repeated with the other color, then tied them together.
As I was working on the coasters, I decided to make a matching cup cozy. Then I also figured that a double-sided & thick reversible potholder would make the set even better. This set was finished within a weekend, due to my motivation, boredom, as well as curiosity for the sales results.
This set was fun to make, and actually sold on eBay, like my other set. I asked myself if this would sell; it did. It’s a good thing I gave crocheting this set a try. I realized that it would be good to have a cup cozy and potholder to match a set of coasters for the home. In a future project and post,. I will expand to a reusable trash sack to hang in your vehicle. Also, I’m likely to use a different type of yarn: cotton.

P.S. As I think about this, my mother loved the colors light pink and blue. This could be a memorial set. Just to let y’all know: on September 12, 2014, my mother passed away from cancer. It was a sad day, but yet, it brought relief for everyone, most of all for my mother. She no longer suffers, but is in a way better place, where no eye has seen nor ear has heard. I know this for sure. The suspense of wondering just when that day would arrive, and knowing it was going to, was stressful. The countdown really began, when she entered into hospice care. Even after all this time, 10 years later, I could still feel emotion in my eyes, while writing this. I’ll be okay, because though I miss her at times, I know where she is.
