About Me

I Love to knit! I have been Knitting for about 8 years and I have really started to knit much more frequently in the last couple years. I used to only knit in the winter & now I want to knit year round and make more & more gifts. I find it very relaxing and a good outlet for stress. I am curently contimplaiting becoming a certified knitting teacher, which would give me the opportunity to teach knitting at a local craft store. I have to take two classes but I am really excited about the possiblities.

Espresso Bracelets!!

I found this pattern on ravelry.com for free it can be found HERE.  I was so excited!!!  Living in the greater Seattle area there is at least one esspresso stand on every corner. LOL!  This is such a wonderful alternitive to the cardboard sleeve & it is multipurpose so when you don't have it on your coffee cup you can be wearing it.  I am making these like crazy. They are super easy & a quick knit.

     
 I am calling this color Milk Chocolate. I am also making them in black, red & pink for the craft fair.

I have flower buttons on the way & some buttons w/ guns of them incase a man would like to use this wonderful item.  It is a nice way to be a little greener by saying no to those cardboard sleeves each time you get a coffee cause you can pull out your Espresso Bracelet, which looks 100 x's nicer than a piece of cardboard any day.

It will fit around a normal coffee mug too. However for me because of my tiny wrist it makes the bracelet a little loose for my liking after this.
