Turns out I do have another craft project to share this week. 😉 I decided to try my hand at a mug cozy. I half-invented the pattern for two reasons…
1) The pattern I found was a slip-over cozy and I wanted it to tie onto a coffee mug.
2) I accidentally did the basket stitch wrong (first time… give me a slight break, okay? 😉 ). For those of you who know crochet, you’re supposed to do two rows one direction, then flip it. I flipped it after one row. 😉
So… the cozy!!!
Oh yeah, and the flower… this was the first attempt at it…
Yeah. It didn’t turn out like the pattern (I though I had the pattern saved to my crochet Pinterest board, but apparently I don’t; sorry I can’t share it!). Thankfully, this whimsical octopus-looking-flower pleased my youngest sister as a hair band. So it wasn’t a wasted practice. 😉
My second attempt went way better… It’s still not as perfect as the pattern-picture (of course), but blocking it helped some. 😉
Have you worked on any projects this week?
