EASTER EGGIES<\/b> Pattern<\/b>: Chick Egg Cozies<\/a> by Derya Davenport COCHIINEAL SOCKS<\/b> Pattern<\/b>: Basic stockinette. BUSINESS CARD HOLDER<\/b> Pattern<\/b>: Mine, all mine! [maniacal laughter] May highlights cannot yet be discussed because it will ruin Ah, April. April went a little crazy this year. Temperatures jumping from 40 F to 90 F in a day, sunny (and then pouring all over May instead)… I think I’m glad it’s May, despite the rain.

\nYarn<\/b>: Knitpicks Wool of the Andes in… yellow scrap
\nNeedles<\/b>: US 5\/3.75 mmm
\nNotes<\/b>: These were a quick little throwaway that I threw together for Easter. The pattern calls for using orange felt to make beaks. I did not have any orange felt to hand, but I had orange yarn, so I figured I’d just embroider beaks. I now have a pair of rather dementedly evil-looking egg cozies.<\/p>\n

\nYarn<\/b>: Knitpicks Felici in Cochineal
\nNeedles<\/b>: US 1 \/ 2.25 mm
\nNotes<\/b>: I bought the yarn solely for the name, cast on 62, did 2×2 rib til I got bored, and then just went to town til it was time for the heel flap. They are exceedingly pink, but that’s what you get when you name your yarn after little dye-bugs.
\nSide note: I miss the old Felici with the different-sized stripes. <\/p>\n

\nYarn<\/b>: Knitpicks Dancing, from the stash.
\nNeedles<\/b>: US 1 \/ 2.25 mm
\nNotes<\/b>: This was a quick little thing I knocked out in one night and promptly bragged about to the entire internet<\/a>. At a event I was at a few weeks ago, someone suggested that you have two pockets or holders or whatnots for business cards — one for your own, and one for your collection from other people. That way you don’t get them mixed up and accidentally hand out someone else’s card. I had nothing like that. But I did have some free time and some stash yarn, so I made one to fit.
\nI’m super happy with how the little thing came out, and I am writing the pattern up because I can’t be the only person with an out-of-control business card collection.<\/p>\nMother’s Day<\/del> birthdays<\/del> things. Once all those things pass by then I can sing like a canary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
