Cozy Cables

What would Winter be without some beautiful
Cozy Cables?
My sister loves cabled knits.
She also loves coffee.
So for her recent birthday
I knit up several cabled coffee cozies.
Just a simple cable in dusty teal.
A darling blue in the hugs and kisses pattern.
{Who doesn't love some hugs & kisses, especially for a birthday?}
Since this one closes with buttons instead of a seam,
it can be put around a mug with a handle.
A big, fat, chunky one in dark teal.
I love this one!
And last but not least...
A cute little owl with button eyes.
Isn't he a hoot?!!
She loved them all!
Her real request from me was a grey cable knit hat.
So, of course, I did that too.
She was tickled pink all the way around!

And while I was in cable mode
I whipped up a couple pairs of sweet 
Cabled Booties
Pink for Penelope~
my friend Erin's newest addition
and 
Blue for Parker ~
my future grandson  :)))

I just love cables!

I also just love all of my friends here!!!

    1. Thank you Girl!
      She was pretty pleased :))
      She doesn't knit but she crochets just a little.
      So she always orders up what she wants from me for Christmas and birthday.
      Have a good one,
      Danette

  3. Perfect gifts for your sister, they are amazing and now I am feeling like a complete slacker for not knitting the past few days.
    Hugs to you,

    1. HaHaHaHaHa!
      I hardly think you are a slacker!
      You have to realize that playing with yarn is my day job! Ha!
      I am home all day every day, especially holed up in the Winter flu season, guarding my highly compromised immune system. So.... I knit and then...... I crochet :)))
      Hugs back at you!
      {now go knit something...}

    1. I know what you mean! Wouldn't it be fun if we could all form a group to actually sit together and do all these fun things?!!
      Ah well....that's the beauty of blogging!
      I so love seeing all the beautiful things all of you make.
      Nothing inspires me to create more!
      Love to you,
      Danette
