Valentine's Day Table:

Bright Red Table Runner

Knitted Table Runner in Scarlet Red

Our red table runner adds a stylish Valentine's Day  flair to the dinner table. The bright color sets off any combination of dishware to perfection, while keeping the table protected from scratches or heat.

Cream and White Placemats

Cottage Chic Placemats

Mixing strands of white and cream yarn turned out a placemat set that genuinely complements a range of decor styles from cottage chic and French country to modern and minimalist.

Tea time!

When it comes to using our table runners, we thoroughly enjoy seeing how many items we can set out at one time. From prepping for a mid-afternoon tea party (complete with plates of chocolate chip cookies) or a dessert bar for after dinner, we designed our table runners to hold a skillet or a large cake pan plus plates and serving pieces or our full coffee paraphernalia for dessert time. Since our knitting provides a thicker base than a layer of fabric, the runner also keeps hot cast iron pans from scarring the tabletop (a definite plus for us!).

Time for a skillet cookie!

 Now for the placemats - with our "standard" size of 15 inches by 20 inches, there is plenty of room for a full place-setting, including multiple pieces of silverware, glassware, and a charger (if desired). Since we rarely have room for single-tasking pieces in our house, we are often found using our placemats to hold pans of freshly baked cookies (plenty of room for an 11x17 pan here!), cast-iron skillets full of our latest cornbread or scones recipe, or a French press and all the usual coffee-drinking paraphernalia.

Yet another cookie recipe!

A shot of espresso?

It can be hard to determine the size of an item simply by its photos, so we are going to showcase some of our better "scale reference" shots of each of our products. First off, the snack mats! With an average size of 5 inches by 7 inches, they are a little wider than the average coffee mug but narrower than a dessert plate. We have found that they are easier to use than a coaster (and much less likely to be misplaced). The bonus? They are machine-washable, too, so no need to worry about a little coffee spill!

Spring pastels...

A refreshing palette of spring shades lends a cottage-chic feel to our newest set of placemats. Knitted from upcycled t-shirts (similar in style to our rag rugs), our placemats are thick and durable, not mention machine washable. The pretty pastels, ranging from pale pink and lavender to celery green and aqua blue, add an elegant twist to our normally rustic-styled placemats. The large rectangular size makes the placemats highly versatile - they are large enough to cushion an entire placesetting, including a charger, or even a tea service, but small enough to be used as the base of a centerpiece on even the smallest of dining tables.
