Coffee Mug Cozy - #2

 

I really liked the first coffee mug cozy I made, but I saw this one and had to try it as well!!  Oh my!  I cannot tell you how much of a hit this has become! I sold a dozen in a day!  They are also not terribly difficult to make!  I found the pattern on Pinterest of course!  Also, it was a FREE pattern.  If you like to crochet, but want a quick project you need to check this out!!  It takes me about 30 minutes to make one, and I love the stitch pattern in it - this will be appearing in some of my future projects!!

 

 

The pattern can be found here.

As always, if you would like to purchase one or more of these please message me for details!!  They can be made in colors of your choice!

Pinterest Project of the Day - Day 15

Amidst my time with family here in North Carolina I found time to work on a project for today!!  It has been a full day!  I did the first part of the project this morning, then we went to visit some family, ate lunch at Hardees, and spent some time in the pool!!  So, this afternoon I was able to finish my project for the most part.  I did have to make a stop at Wal-Mart to pick up the final detail!  I recently found a simple crochet pattern for a coffee cup cozy on Pinterest.  So, I figured that would be rather simple to make with the partial skein of yarn I brought with me!  The pattern recommends using cotton yarn, but I had acrylic and it worked just fine!!

If you are interested in making one of these, you can find the pattern at Ravelry for free!  Or, if you would like to purchase one, please check out my Etsy shop!!  As with my other products, this can be made in custom colors, just message me for details!

Pinterest Project of the Day - Day 5

I decided to do one of the crochet projects today.  On Tuesday my Mom and I went to Cross Plains to have lunch at Thomas Drugs, a pharmacy and soda shop. While we were there we checked out a couple of the local shops.  I spoke with one of the shop owners about selling some items on consignment and we discussed my hand crocheted dish rags and scarves.  So, I have been looking at different types of scarves that are comfortable, cozy, not overly difficult to make, and attractive.  I got the basic idea for today's scarf from a pin on Pinterest (http://brookeanndove.blogspot.com/p/about-me.html).  However, it called for a thick yarn, which I don't keep on hand.  However, the next time it is on sale at Hobby Lobby (or I have a 40% coupon) I plan to get a skein of the thick yarn to try it out also!  So, of course, I modified the pattern given on the website to make the scarf work with the yarn that I did have on hand.  I do not own, and I have never made one of the infinity scarves...so, that is what I made today! 

(please excuse the shirt that does not match the scarf...)

My modified version:

Red Heart yarn (I only used less than half a skein to make this)

Crochet Hook I/9 - 5.5mm

     * Chain 150

     * Connect to beginning chain with a slip stitch, chain two (this will count as your first double crochet - on this row and each row throughout)

     * Double crochet in each chain, connect to ch 2 with a slip stitch.

     * Repeat double crochet until scarf is desired width.

         (this picture is with 7 rows of Double Crochet....I plan to go back and add at least one row)

Good Luck! Let me know how your projects turn out!! :)
