Of Mug Cozies and Tea Contests

• Pattern: Garter Mug Cozies by Cathy Carron, Interweave Knits, Holiday 2007
• Yarn:  Brown Sheep Naturespun Worsted, from stash, sorry-I have no idea what color #
• Needles: 
• Cast On:  Some night in January
• Bound Off:  The same night in January

Such a whimsey! Cozies for your mugs! Who knows if they work, but they certainly are a clever and fun little project that I plan on making again. I can finally show these to you, they were the gifts for the two winners in my How Many Teas Do I Actually Have? contest back during NaBloPoMo. (Wow, a whole month of posting. That seemed so overwhelming at the time. Now a year? Crazy is as crazy does...) I sent the mugs with their cozies, some loose tea, infusers and of course, chocolate. I got the mugs at Zazzle dot com, a fun website where you can put whatever you dream up on all kinds of fun stuff, mugs, t-shirts, hats, bags, mouse pads. You get the idea. Just fun. I love the mug, "knit" in languages. A perfect sentiment for tea and knitting time. I hope that Erin and Lynn will use them in good health and hot tea. Or coffee, really I don't discriminate.

But, what about the January contests? Have I forgotten those? Will I award prizes? Choose winners? Well, yes I will, but that will be for tomorrow, because when you are posting every day, dragging things out is a mandatory trick.

Three hundred thirty-one to go.  Maybe Belichik should have stuck with the grey sweatshirt.  What was with the red?!  Or maybe Giselle should have stayed home.  Hmmmm......  There is always next year.

It totally works, by the way. I enjoyed some of your delicious tea yesterday, and plan for more today. You may have a convert here.

Cute as can be and the mugs are a very cool idea!

I'm sad, but deep inside sort of happy for Eli Manning. He's just so darn likeable.

Great gifts- love the cosies. Question- how did you stream that music into your post?? Kind of took me by surprise-hehe. Very peppy for all of the depressed Pats fans out there. What a way to start a Monday!

Lovely prizes!
At least the commercials were good or so my husband said. I don't watch football.

You give the BEST gifts and prizes!

I agree with Cheryl. Belichick is in need of a "good sportmanship" seminar, IMHO.

I am apparently getting blinder by the day. I can barely read the little commentary on the bottom anymore> Cripes. :S
