With Christmas only 8 weeks away (yikes, that’s too close for comfort), I’m busy knitting mug cozies for a few of the gals I work with that will go around the perfect white mugs I found at the dollar store – I’m so thrifty. I’m using the Cabled Mug Cozy pattern by Knit Picks and plan to use up left over scrap yarn that has been accumulating in my yarn my basket. This project is great for me to take with me daily to work and knit on during my lunch hour. Hope to have them done very soon.
Next on the project list is my second pattern for socks. I’ve decided to knit another pair out of the 2008 Interweave Holiday Issue, the Aran Isle Slippers by Jennifer Lang. I have several skeins of yarn in my stash that should work for this project and I have been leaning towards my skein of Cascade 220 in a light teal. I have taken a lot at all the finished projects on Ravelry and have been very impressed with the choices of yarn knitters used. Can’t wait to cast on!
Happy knitting to all!
Ahhh! I love those slippers! Your blog is quickly becoming my source for Christmas gift ideas
Can't wait to see how yours turn out!
I really like the cup cozies too – I love cables, especially with wooden buttons!
Oh- I love those slippers! I bought the mag without really wanting to knit anything in particular, and those look great! Thanks for pointing them out!
Thanks ladies!!! I'm looking forward to my knitting…. so much to knit, so little time. I need elves!
