WELCOME! Believe it or not, my High School Nurse taught me how to knit when I was in 8th grade. Sooo 1989? :) I have been knitting on and off ever since. I became more active with knitting when I had a high risk pregnancy. Stress was lowered! I had a beautiful and healthy baby girl. Homemade Crafts by Jen was born 2 years later! I have been actively creating things and I love every minute of it! My daughter is motivation for me to try my very best at anything I set my mind to doing. :)

Knitting Pattern: Pot and Pan Savers
POT
AND PAN SAVERS
Place
these in between your stacked pots and pans to keep them from getting
scratched! They can be used as small dishcloths/scrubbers for washing
the dishes, or mini-washcloths for baths. Lay these side by side for
in-between your glass baking dishes. Many GREAT uses! :)
This
is a variation of the Grandmother's Favorite Dishcloth:

Favorite Dishcloth/Washcloth (Free Knitting Pattern)
**I
personally prefer a tighter knit dishcloth. These seem to hold up
better for me.
