Pot Holder needed

in Old style MoneySaving
I'm after a pot holder to help get my steamed puddings out of my slow cooker. Not the square kind for holding onto a saucepan/cake tin. I'm picturing a macrame one my nan had years ago. Thing is the only macrame pot holders I can find on t'internet are for hanging plant pots, not really what I want.

Does anyone know where I might be able to purchase one from?

Buy your bananas in bunches of 5 on Sunday. Then arrange them in order of ripeness and write a day of the week on each banana in felt pen, Monday on the ripest, Friday on the greenest to save time making those decisions on a hectic weekday morning

    I know what you mean but couldn't find a ready made one for you; however, if you fancy the REALLY OS way then I did find this pattern!

    Can you tie string around and make a little handle across the top?
    I have seen this done with glass jam jars to.

    I just used a teatowel the other day to get my bacon and apple pudding out of the SC. Julie
