lol, thanks for this, I am looking for an intermetiate potholder pattern that is rather origianl. I mean anyone can knit a 5x5 square, but this is for a knitters exchange and I want to be creative If it had an apple design that would be a bonus.
Hmmm.....the best I can come up with while at work is Dishcloth Boutique (http://www.jimsyldesign.com/~dishbout/kpatterns/nojavaindex.html). There might be one in there. Otherwise...how comfortable are you with 2-color knitting? I'd go to one of the cross-stitch websites, yank a simple apple pattern, and knit it into a square, probably with a seed stitch border.
I'll see what I can find when I get home from work tonight.
It's not hard, there's a decent tutorial on it here (http://knitting.about.com), and another in the techniques section of this page (http://www.knitting-and.com).
Alternately, you take the pattern done for 2 colors, and work it in all in one color, but knit the image and purl the background stitches. It's more subtle, and doesn't work well for complex images, but for something simple like an apple, it'd show up ok. And this technique gives a reversible image.
By the way, I'm still looking for the apple pattern. Seems like all the sites I remembered as having such a thing are either gone, or have completely changed their pattern offerings.
