These are gorgeous. Now I have to decide which to crochet first. Thank you.

2 Hour Potholder-----I previously wrote asking for a conversion to knitting or crocheting this item. One response I got from you still used a loom and the other response used plastic bags. Can I get a "yes" or "no" for a conversion of just straight knitting or crocheting. Thank you.
