Coffee Cup Cozy/ Cuff Bracelet

I have been working on all sorts of projects lately, some are new ones, others are ones I have been meaning to try but never seemed to have the time. This one fits into the later category.

Coffee Cup Cozy/ Cuff Bracelet

Gauge isn't important, depends on yarn and crotchet hook you are using.

For mine I used wool, worsted weight yarn and a G hook.

Working in the round
Row 1 - Chain 35, join ends with slip stitch
Row 2 - Single crotchet, slip stitch to first stitch (34)
Row 3 - Single crotchet,  slip stitch to first stitch(34)
Row 4 - 2 single crotchet in first stitch, single crotchet remaining stitches, slip stitch to first stitch (35)

Repeat rows 2-4 until your cozy is the desired size.

In order to figure out how many stitches I needed to begin with I chained a row and slip stitched it together than used a glass to make sure it would fit (also tried to see if it would fit over my hand onto my wrist, since I had seen some double as cuff bracelets)

Craft Idea

I was just recently in Hannibal, MO for a sisters weekend. I am always looking for new ideas for craft project or inspiration for new projects. We save wine corks in our house to use for future projects and we found this idea in the Wine Stoppe while we were out enjoying the Historical Downtown Hannibal. Great way to dress up an inexpensive clock and re-use old corks. Also, a neat wine bottle holder if you have an old guitar (or other instrument) and want to re-purpose it.

Reserve Champion!

I entered one of my latest baskets at the Douglas County Kansas Free Fair in the Open Class Fine Arts and received Reserve Champion in the class. So exciting. Hopefully next year I can create one and move to Champion!

Is a basket perfect for a wine bottle!
