This time of year rocks. And another free pattern. Woohooo.

I had this brilliant idea. I was going to knit end of the year gifts for the teachers; a coffee cup cozy with a gift card sleeve. And I did it. But that was before I went on a hunt for the perfect coffee cup. I'm looking for something specific. Not a mug. Not a thermos. Just a rubber-like cup that looks identical to the to-go cups you get at the coffee shop. They seemed all the rage just a few months ago. Everyone seemed to have one. And now I can't find one - anywhere! What's the dealio, peeps?

Here're a couple of snap shots:


Here's the quick pattern:
CO 52, join in round.
K,P about 7 rows
Knit 7 rows
Start name chart (if you want me to make one for you, let me know your teacher's name)
Knit another 7 rows
K,P about 7 rows
BO
Pocket:
CO 20, knit flat
K,P about 5 rows
Knit stockinette 12 rows
BO
Attach to Cozy (centering behind name)
Edited to add: I used size 5 needles with my rowan pure wool DK. Gauge was about 6sts to an in.

Anyway,
One and half weeks left of school. Eeek.
Two days until I start my new job.
One summer birthday down, one to go.





Two performances down, zero to go (besides your daily dance routine in the living room).










(NOTE THE HATS!!!! I HELPED MAKE THOSE!!THANKYOUVERMUCH)

One broken elbow healed enough to take off the cast. Yippeeee.


One little green frog:


And the start of Lemonade Stand Season.



I love this time of year!
