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...

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.

After Lil and Angie saw my dice bag, they each wanted one with a neck strap for their crystals. I, personally, think they turned out really well. Angie wanted one in dark colours and Lil wanted one in purple. I did them with my leftover Noro Kureyon Sock yarn, also using Nina Hyland 's Deep Sea Flower Dice Bag pattern. I love how they turned out.

Made a dice bag using the Deep Sea Flower Dice Bag pattern by Nina Hyland. It calls for Noro Kureyon yarn and US 8 dpns, but I used Noro Kureyon Sock and US 3 dpns and made a bag big enough for one set of dice. My aunt and Angie from my women's group have requested one each; Lil requested a purple one with a strap long enough for a necklace, and Angie wants one in dark colours with a strap long enough for a necklace as well.
