I like to cover medium sized plastic cup with a sock and then I stand that in my window and put my glasses in it. You have a great idea. I am going to do the potholder one for my purse:)

Like it - like it - like it. Hopefully I will find the time some day to try making one for myself!

I have always thought this would be great for crochet hooks too. For scissors, just lay the potholder with the point toward you, and the loop on the top. Then, simply fold one third in and the other on top of it, then sew or pin. This keeps them up from kids and you always know where they are. Slip a lanyard or ribbon through the loop and you can wear it around your neck!
