Slippery cup cozy solution…

Hey there!

I hope everyone is enjoying their Saturday so far.

I’m sitting here with my Tim Horton’s coffee and using my favourite cup cozy! 😀

But I did find, after using it for a bit, two things happened.

  1. It stretched out after a few uses
  2. I had a hard time picking my coffee up from the centre because it was a bit slippery on most paper cups.

Not good.

So, I came up with a simple solution that solves both these problems!

SOCK STOP!!

I purchased some “Rico Sock Stop” a while ago to put on the bottoms of slippers and socks I made so they wouldn’t be so slippery on hard surfaces.  I thought this should also work to keep my cup cozy from slipping on my coffee cup even if it stretched out a bit.  AND IT DOES!!

Just apply little lines of the Sock Stop on the inside of your cup cozy and let it dry 8 – 10 hours.  I applied it on one side first, let it dry, then applied it on the other side.

I bought my Rico Sock Stop at loveknitting.com.  You can click here to get yours!DSCN5591So grab some “Rico Sock Stop” , gather up your cup cozies and get the insides of them lined!

You’ll be happy you did!

Buffalo Check cup cozy…

Good morning everyone.

Well, I managed to get 1 of the 2 patterns written this week.  I guess that’s better than none! LOL!  I was really hoping to launch both at one time but that just didn’t happen.

So my “Buffalo Check Cup Cozy” pattern is now available for purchase on loveknitting.com, in my Etsy store and on Craftsy.

It’s such a fun and quick project! Perfect for your leftover yarn!

Oh! And stay tuned! Next week my pattern I designed for Paintbox Yarns will be launching!

Happy knitting!

Cup Cozies…

Good afternoon!

I had always wanted to make some cup cozies but hadn’t yet had the chance.

But a couple of days ago my best friend messaged me with a photo of a cup cozy she had made and it was gorgeous! That was the push I needed to try one.

She sent me the pattern she followed, but it involved double pointed needles and sock yarn, neither of which I own.

So, I came up with my own pattern! 😉

Here are the cup cozies I’ve made so far! They are SO FUN to make!

Well off to make some more!!

And let me know if you would like one!! I’d be happy to make it! 😀

Happy Sunday!
