Keeping Your Cups Cozie and Warm!

There are few things I hate more than wasting art and craft materials because there isn't quite enough of the supply left to make a project. This holds extremely true for the last bits of yarn I end up with after knitting hats and scarves. I've decided to put those scraps of yarn to good use and knit up some cup cozies to help keep your beverages warm and your hands from burning. You won't forget which cup is yours with one of these! At $10 each they make great gifts too. To see which one you'd like to sport on your cup, click the "Handmade Items for Sale" link on the sidebar.

New Project: Wrist Warmers

After contemplating how to speed up the time it takes me to knit a pair of wrist warmers, a friend of mine mentioned she'd recently seen a pair of felted wrist warmers that were really cute. And although I don't know how to felt, I do know how to sew. And it just so happens that I had some fleece left over from the ear-flap hats I made last winter season. I made a quick test sample and had a few different people try them on for size. A few more measurements of hands and wrists and I narrowed down my pattern to two different adult sizes: one that is small to fit narrow wrists/hands/arms or snugly fit the average woman, and one which is large for women who prefer something with a little more room (and as proven by my boyfriend will also fit men). Each pair is adorned with a iconic button, anything from flowers to monsters, and with all hand-crafted items, no two pairs will ever be exactly alike. Each pair will be sold for $10.
