Is there a place I could find a pattern for this? I may think of doing this, but not sure. Sounds kind of like the dishcloth swap & I had fun with that.

I love to crochet...I can make anything without a pattern, usually just need a pic for inspiration. I could do this....since it would be due after Christmas.
Are you talking about coasters? They could just be stacked with a ribbon to hold them together when not in use :-) Hope we get some gals to join us!

Yes, they are same as coasters, but I like to make mine a little oblong, but they can be round, square. but mug mats are usually made from yarn. Some have fringe, some don't. I have never seen a pattern except in coasters with fabric. It would only take afternoon, it that long. but to Crochet Pattern Central and you could find something there. what about color- want to specific or just go with it?

I just measured the biggest mug we have, and its 3.5 inches across the bottom, so what you you think of 4 or 4.5 on width? And are you alright with the fact it can be square, round or rectangle? Feed back please.

PERHAPS decide on an approx size for all of us? I think to fit a regular coffee mug is sufficient. I like BRIGHT colors...any color just bright. :-)

I would really like some feed back. I did measure a regular size mug and its 3.5. Our biggest mug are just taller. I did not realize that. Being mugs they run a little lager than cups. I think 4.5 in diameter. That only gives you 1/2 inch on each side to hit the mat. What about color.

Are we making one set of 4 total or a set 4 for each person?
Just making sure I can do this. I know it doesn't take long, but I want to make sure I have the time and the $ to mail out. I have a lot on my plate right now. Thanks!

Ladies, Cotton or Acrylic? I personally vote for cotton more absorbing. What do you all think?

Ok I am in...can handle 1 set. I like black or red for my colors. I have black in my kitchen, so those would look nice on the counter. I have butcher block counters & am constantly telling the kids to use a coaster or put their drinks on the stove, so these will come quite in handy! I never thought to make them. Thanks for the ideas!! So you will let us know who we are swapping with around the 10th of December right?
I agree with cotton too.

Come On Ladies, I can't believe no else has not signed up. This is after Christmas, none of you have that bored feeling after the holidays and wish you had something to do. And this can give you a jump on someone gift in the coming year. This is EZ and short and sweet. Hope everyone had a nice and warm wonderful T-day!

Howdy all, just checkin' in...I have some ideas but no real decisions. Can't decide between crochet or knit coasters. I'll be getting the yarn soon. I am assuming that knit would still be good instead of crochet. :-)

yup...crochet is faster... I thought I was just slow at knitting! So it's not just me. :-) Sometimes I like to do something different and knitting can be very calming, and on some things it gives a nice softness. I look forward to looking for the yarns. :-) :-D
