MATERIALS:

Cozy up, my lovely knitters, because a new Cozy cuppa pattern is here! This time we are knitting up a cozy cup of cocoa decorated with evergreen trees and topped with a sprig of holly. The palms of this beautiful design is a gingham plaid, and the thumb features a tall pine tree. These are knit with dk/worsted weight yarn, so they are EXTRA warm!

MATERIALS:

Instructions are included within the pattern for both the fingerless and the full versions of these mittens. There are also charts available for 2 color and 3 color versions of this pattern. There are so many variations you could do with the colorwork for these--feel free to experiment!

This pattern is also available on Etsy at Simply Serving.

The Polyphemus Moth (or Antheraea Polyphemus) is a giant silk moth found statewide in Illinois. It has two eyespots on its wings to ward off predators. It has feathery antennae, which are larger in males than females. It lives in both urban and forest areas. Adult Polyphemus moths do not feed, and only two generations per year are produced.

Instructions are included within the pattern for both the fingerless and the full versions of these mittens. This pattern can also be purchased in my Etsy shop, but must be purchased through Ravelry if you would like the pattern added to your Ravelry library.

This pattern was inspired by the mittens and gloves I knit while living on Lincoln Avenue the second year my husband and I were married. These socks feature lots of simple texture and 2 mock cables on the other edges of the foot.

The Chestnut Street socks are inspired by my husband and my first year of marriage, and the first apartment we shared together (yes, on Chestnut Street!). This pattern uses one strand of sock yarn and 1 strand of lace mohair, held double, for a squishy halo of warmth.

Introducing my latest mitten design: the Lumberjill Mittens!
