a knitting break
As I am experiencing my "sock" period in my knitting life, I made these little striped beauties for Katie. I am fascinated by self striping yarn and thrilled not to have to change colors manually, sewing in all of thoes ends. But after I am all done with the pair, I have an itty bit of yarn left over. What to do???
Then I came up with it. A knitted sleeve for a hot paper latte cup. Actually, I prefer to call them cup condoms. And when you knit in the patten of K2 P2, you create this ribbed affect. So I apologize, but I just have to say it. Not only do they keep latte drinker safe from harm, but they are "ribbed for her pleasure". Again, I am sorry but I just couldn't resist.

Coffee condoms! Snort! I LOVE that! You are so clever! The socks are awesome - I am also on a sock jag. I knit a pair of self striping socks a while back, but the 2nd skein of yarn was wound backwards, so the pattern is upside down of the 1st sock. Gotta love it! Hopefully we'll meet soon. I'm still laughing!...
I can only applaud the safety factor involved in holding the cup! We wouldn't want any unintended leakages, now would we?! Better safe than sorry - that's our motto! And the cuteness factor can not be measured by modern technology! You are too funny!! What a great idea - a partnership with Starbucks is clearly in your future! Some type of retail - you better get a pattend on that puppy!
