Coffee Sleeve

My poor Hubs.  He wanted to show me that he could actually make his own coffee sleeve and wanted me to "remind" him how to cast-on and knit on DPNs.  So, since we had something that already fit what he wanted the sleeve for, I looked it over and tried to figure out what I did since it was for something I made when I first started knitting.  Here's what I think he needed to do for his sleeve:

1. Cast on 36 sts, dividing evenly over 4 DPNs and join in the round.

2. Knit for 10 rows.

3. Cast off.

But ... this never happened so, I'm wrapping up to post to close it out!😋

Mitten Garland Advent Calendar

I was perusing around the web and found this website (back in 2021!😳😱).  It was so cute and inspiring that I thought that I'd give this a try.  It seemed easy enough (and small) and it just took three (3) colours.  However, five (5!) years have gone by since I saw this cute project and I've actually used up all of my polyester yarns (the ones I had intended to use for this project). Alas, this project clearly wasn't going to happen. 😳😱😔😭🤦‍♀️I think another (big) reason why this project simply "sat" in my queue was that I didn't have anyone who'd really appreciate/want something like this. So I've decided to wrap up this post to have closure on a project that will most likely never happen ... 😔😳 Who knows ... maybe one day, I'll meet someone who will inspire me to make a mitten advent calendar for him/her.🤷‍♀️🤔🍀🐰🎄
