I have found the perfect lunch time knitting project…. mug cozies! I’ve knitted up 3 so far and have 6 to go. Looks like I will be able to knit about 3 cozies per left-over skein of yarn that has been accumulating in my basket. This was a grand idea!!!
I’m excited too that I have the perfect buttons to use …. I don’t even remember where I purchased these!
Tomorrow is going to be fun. Hubby and I are driving up to the Show Low area to see my folks tomorrow. The weather will be much cooler than here in Phoenix and I’m happy that I might actually get to wear a sweater and maybe even a hat.
Happy knitting !!!

Yummy cozies & buttons. I love what you’ve done with the w/p design! Very popular with knitters!
Thank you Kelly…. I truly appreciate the compliments.
Cool idea and I love the buttons you found these are going to be great! – MaLinda
Hi Malinda …. It’s terrific to use all that left over yarn for. I actually knitted 3 cozies with one 1/2 skein of yarn I had left over. Now working on a small amount of Alpaca with a Twist, Baby Twist. The buttons are great too… I think I got them on Etsy years ago.
Buttons and wool! Two of my favorite things. Great project for busy people.
Allison … it is a great project that seems to go hand in hand!
Love the cozies! Are you using a particular pattern or just knitting as you go? I can think of some great stash yarn for that purpose…and what a great excuse to buy some cool buttons.
Hi Kate…. I’m actually using a pattern from Patons — click here . It’s a super fast project. I plan to get all 9 knitted, then sew on buttons and create the loops.
Love the cozies! I’m going to have to knit a couple of them as gifts! Great idea!
Hey Amanda!! Thanks oodles… they truly are super quick to knit. I’m planning on filling them up with cocoa, tea, biscotti, shortbread etc…. place them in clear cello bags, and tie with an ornament ~ cute office gifts, don’t you think?
