Potholder Swap Group

I received these potholders a couple of weeks ago from the ladies in the same group I'm in on Ravelry. We swap 4 times a year, and I can't wait for the next one, as I'm learning new patterns and not just making the double thick crochet. pattern I have been using for friends and family.

These are the ones I sent.
