new knits

30 day challenges, crafting, learning all the time, woolens | Thursday, January 10th, 2013

i love my cuppow (if coffee really must be to go). i prefer the child’s size for coffee and chai and the larger size is good for smoothies on the go. i’m not a huge coffee cozy/cuff/sleeve fan because it makes the whole cup larger in my hand and while these ones i knit up also add to the girth i am still rather smitten with their raw silk and wool tweediness (i think i just made up that word) that i just might actually use one.

i do love a small project and these were fun to try out some new knit stitches. from left to right; waffle cuffcorrugated cuff and left out of phase cuff.

  1. This post is making me want to finally pick up a cuppow. I just use my mason jars without a lid, I haven’t taken them to-go yet. Lovely sleeves.

  5. I’ve never seen these cups - here in Aus the version is a plastic one http://www.keepcup.com.au/ which we all use, but nowhere as appealing as yours, particularly when wearing a sweater!
