After I made iCord with my leftover 3 weight yarn, this is what I came up with. Simple, quick, but pretty! I can use it as a trivet, as long as I don't put anything scalding hot on it, or fresh from the oven hot... It's about 7 1/2 inches across (19 cm), about 1/2 inch thick (1.3 cm). I'm happy with it!
