Coffee cup cozy — buy or make
2008 April 3
We Covet features a coffee cup cozy today. It costs $18. When I saw it, I thought “That looks like the one in my Ravelry queue:”
Sure enough, it’s just about identical, except that I think the edges on the DIY one are nicer.
So if you’re checking out We Covet and coveting the coffee cozy, make a knitter friend who can whip one up in an afternoon with any color yarn you like before you pay $18 plus shipping for either red or white.
Awesomeness!!! Thanks.
Ooh! I covet!
Tell me what color you want. I have a dresser full of yarn
Cute new icon!
Eh, surprise me.
I made one of these while I was in Texas for my step mom.. except it wasn’t this fancy. However it was felted!
(why does felted sound like a dirty word? well, I actually know why, but jeez. my brain, she is a crazy fucker.)
I must have one of these. Tim Horton’s doesn’t have the cardboard thingies to keep from burning your hand. They “double cup” if you say anything, which is a HUGE waste.
Since I’m a novice knitter, have never done cables, and don’t have time to knit these days, I’ll be printing the instructions and giving them to my mother, the professional knitter in the family.
Cables are so easy to learn. All you’re doing is: you have a cable needle (or dpn). Instead of knitting the stitches, you slide them over to the cable needle to wait. Depending on the way you want the cable to twist, you hold that needle either to the front or back of the work. The next sts to be knit, you knit them. Then you go ahead and knit the ones off your cable needle. All done. The only odd thing you do w/ cables is that every six rows or so, you do that. This would be a great project to learn cablng.
