I just love it when someone introduces me to an idea I have never come across before ….. I was so inspired last night that I sat knitting while watching The Apprentice, which as you know is sacrosanct! It’s a Mug Hug!
…….. A little wrap around cosy for my mug (a definite too much time on my hands project!). It’s from this book – Knitted Mug Hugs!
I’ve used a red cotton type double knitting wool and size 8 needles for my hug and then embellished it with a large mother of pearl button to fasten it and small pearl heart shaped buttons on the main body.
I couldn’t believe it when I Googled the idea … I got so many wonderful results.
There is so many fun ideas out there, that I don’t know about ….. agggghhhh, if only I didn’t have to go to work!
Another amazing creation Helen. This is so..ooo...clever idea. At first, it looks a little complicated when viewing on the mug - then I viewed the 'hug' outstretched and it looks quite simple! *Ü* Is there any chance you can post the instructions? TFS. ~Glen~
ReplyDeleteWork does tend to get in the way, doesn't it LOL
ReplyDeleteGreat idea Helen - I've seen fabric cosies that turn mugs into mini desk totes but I hadn't seen anything like this - great idea.
Toni :o)
What a fantastic idea - must learn to knit :-)
ReplyDeleteThat looks great, wish I could knit!
ReplyDeleteThese are great aren't they. I've got a lovely crochet one from Greenpixie's blog. Jaqui x
