The inspiration for this scarf was found on Ana Maria Horner's blog.

Coffee Mug Knitted Coaster
I found this pattern on Raverly but it was in Japanese! So I just winged it. I made this for my coffee mug at work. The end result was a little big (4" X 3.5") so if you want a smaller one, make the adjustments according to your yarn weight and needle size.
Instructions:
Small amount of left over medium weight yarn.
The size of your needles will depend on the yarn that you use.
I knitted this pattern in a garter stitch, bottom to top. To create the angled corners at the bottom of the mug, I made a bar increase at the beginning and ending of each row for the first 3 rows.
Cast on 15 ST, turn.
Row 1: Kfb, K13, Kfb, turn. Repeat for next two rows.
Continue knitting rows until you've reached desired height.
Cast off and weave in ends.
The mug handle was crocheted:
CH 19, turn.
DC in 3rd stitch from hook, then all the way across. Fasten and weave in ends then attach to mug.
Did you notice the dish the cookies are on? I found this dish at the cabin we stayed in on our trip to Big Bear. It was a stray dish among the other mismatched ones that were there. I couldn't believe it had the initial "S" on it. It is so beautiful. Luckily, the owner of the cabin lives downstairs and I was able to make her an offer for it. Two bucks later, the dish came home with me. I still have not figured out where to put it but it is going to go on one of my walls.
Swifer Sock
Say What? Yes, Swifer Sock. Cari sent this little project to me and I just knew I had to make one. If you are so inclined, the directions can be found here.
I'm so tempted to make other household utility items to match.
Happy Friday!
SC
