Yesterday, I had a few spare moments at the pool, so I whipped up a little pattern for Cup Covers and Coasters out of some scrap yarn I had in my yarn bag (which I carry everywhere...just in case). I have company fairly often and we sit on the porch most of the time. With it being Summer, I needed a few more cup covers to put over the tops of our coffee cups to keep the bugs away...and...you can never have enough coasters on the end tables, etc., so I made a few more of those too.
At the end of the day yesterday, I had made 3 cup covers and 6 coasters (2 of each color).
This photo shows the difference in size between the coasters and the covers. The cover is at the top of the photo.
And here's an up close photo so you can see the detail.
