Pattern: Silly Apple Cozy
Yarn: stash red acrylic and stash green merino
Needles: 5 mm dpns, and 3.5 mm needles for the leaf
Mods: made the cozy much smaller than the original pattern called for- I don't buy gigantic apples that often. Also added a leaf from
this pattern.
Notes: I love this little apple cozy, it's a pretty hygienic way to transport an apple that I would typically just toss into my purse for a snack at work. I added a little leaf by the button, because for some unknown reason, I felt utterly compelled to have an apple cozy look just like an apple. But yet I have no sound argument as to why I did that. Hmm. A little armchair psychology, anyone?
Pattern: Felix's Cardigan
Yarn: stash, I believe an acrylic/cotton blend from Paton's. 2 Skeins.
Needles: 5 mm
Mods: went up a needle size to make this a bit bigger.
Notes: The cardigan patterns was a simple top down construction, which was great. I think it's safe to say that the awesome robot buttons make this sweater. I got them on Etsy.com, from
Buttered Parsnips. I love her buttons!! I'll be buying more for future kid knits, for sure. I found it really hard to find great buttons for boy knits, abut she has lots of great designs.
How cute are they?!
