Trick or Treat for My Colleagues


When one doesn't have a major project on the needles, one needs to knit something or one will start to go crazy. This could have been me. I tried to start Ene's Scarf 5 separate times. It wasn't happening. I decided the project was not ready to be knitted yet. I needed to find something else. I wanted to start my husband's Cobblestone Pullover but I didn't have the 32" size 7 needles. They should be arriving from Hong Kong any day now. Chris, my friend, was making coffee cup cozies for her church. That sounded do-able. I looked up some patterns on Ravelry and came across POISON! coffee cozies. Now they should be made with wool and felted but I had a lot of acrylic so I dropped the needle size down and knitted away. I finished one in about an hour and decided to make one for the women I have coffee and tea with in the mornings. I made a green one for Marina and a purple one for Luba. Ortencia gets red because she looks good in red lipstick. The rest are for whoever wants that color. Here are some photos of them. Here's a coffee cup modeling one of them.
Here's all eight:
So I think I'll give them to my friends on Monday. They could cover up the boring white Styrofoam cups that our comforting beverages are served in down in the dingy teachers' cafeteria. Boo!

For tournaments or even a formal online game having an significant particular person, you could dress in a straw cap. [url=http://www.ss12w12ws.info]Matrimo5656[/url]

Try out preparing food your best cooked casseroles in muffin tins. You will not only have separately-size servings, but everyone may have some of the crispy, brown edge items. Being a reward, the casserole freezes well over these segment-scaled sections, so you can pull out leftovers for meals and thaw them faster. [url=http://www.ss12w12ws.info]Matrimo5656[/url]

Lots of people are finding that tinnitus retraining treatment method, or TRT, is very valuable. This therapy could make your ringing in the ears far more bearable. This procedure enables you to interact with the notion that tinnitus is just not a huge deal. You can easily workout you to ultimately see ringing in the ears as a "low-issue". By doing so, it is possible to placed your focus on more valuable issues. [url=http://www.x21w12w21.info]Ca45yhhe[/url]
