My Grandma was the same way... although the Poodles were for Wine bottles because my Grandpa used to make his own wine...

I think I still have one packed away in storage somewhere!! (the poodle, not the wine... ha!)
(the one on the left is crocheted, the other one looks like it was knitted...)
And she used to make these beautiful 3D doilies with flowers, petals and leaves on them... she could literally see something and go home and make it.
It skipped a generation cuz my Mom didn't crochet, but she taught me how to do a chain stitch and I learned the rest from a book.

(tried to knit once, but I couldn't even figure out how to cast the stitches on the needles...

)
I have seen some PV holders that are crocheted, and I have an idea how to make them better (and more stable)...

Who knows?? You might start seeing some of my creations if I ever get around to it... LOL!!
