Okay, they aren’t potatoes, they are rocks from the backyard.
I was going for something like this:
While I thought we had lots of beautiful rocks in our backyard, it turns out, they all just look like potatoes when they are brought inside.
I don’t particularly care for potatoes as doorstops. If the sun ever comes out again, I’ll go back yard shopping again for some prettier rocks.

You could also crochet a cover for a big rock

They do. We have lots of granite and quartz in our yard, so hopefully I can find some of that. If not, I can hike down to the creek behind our house and hopefully find some like the ones in the photo.
