Added Cuff, Please
Well, I have these really nice knitted socks. When I was a hundred pounds lighter, they were thigh-highs. Now, they won't stay on my thighs without rolling down. Since they're so tall, and I'm so short, I decided to unravel them to right below my knee, pick up stitches around, and then knit a cuff. On one, it's going to say "betch" and on the other, "deck." Idea of that courtesy Red, who also introduced me to the Kelly videos. They’re comedic and on YouTube. Check them out?
Cozy French Press
Well, I use my French Press mostly at my friend Tiffani's house. They have an enclosed porch that is the smoking room. When I'm sitting out there, ten minutes after the hot water is poured into the French press the coffee is cold. I found the Natural Coffee Cozies by Bernat Design Studio pattern and decided wool would be best at keeping it warm. Right now, I'm just worried that after I felt the piece and stick it on the French press, it'll shrink and break the beaker. We will see...
Good Night's Sleep
I have trouble sleeping at night. Mostly, by the time my eyes are closing for sleep, it's already daylight. I decided I needed something for it, so I started knitting this Chevron Eyeshade by Desi Knitter. The only thing I've decided I don't like about the pattern is the decreases. Next time I make one, I may use that double decrease [sl2tog, k1, p2so] that looks like layered knit stitches over top the slanted stitches.
