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!!!

Rosy Cloche

I don't know about anyone else but I think flapper girl looking stuff is fun! I crocheted this hat using 100% Baby Alpaca and added the crocheted rose and some crocheted spirals and when I placed it on my head I thought, "Ooh... Flapper!" Now this is not necessarily the best look for me and I did not make this hat for myself. It was made for a customer. But  I couldn't resist snapping a quick photo before it went bye~bye. It was too fun to make! I love the spirals dangling down. They added the right amount of SASS!  The pattern was taken from The Chicks with Sticks Guide to Crochet. I have made too many of these to count in various colors of alpaca. They are popular sellers and they make great gifts. I always doll them up with some sort of flower with or without the spirals, depending on what mood strikes me. They are quick and fun so give them a try!
