It’s back to school! Excuse me while I do the happy dance. Not only does back to school excite me for obvious reasons, but it also signifies the beginnings of fall. It’s still a few weeks away, but fall is definitely in the air! So that means… apple season!
This cute coffee cozy is made to fit a standard paper coffee cup (like you’d get at Starbucks, McDonald’s, etc.). It would make a cute back to school gift for the teachers in your life.

Your patterns are a delight to this recently reintroduced crocheter … was brought back after 25+ years away with my desire to make a lightweight chemo cap for my sister-in-law. She was “determined” to use only previously fit wigs but when I presented her with this cap in a light acrylic blend of salmon, pink, white, gray and beige she put it on just in time for post chem surgery. I heard from various family members how delighted Patricia was to wear it to the hospital and then during her stay and even upon going home! I made her cap to bring some sense of the love of others, but I find myself feeling the joy !
That’s wonderful! Thank you 🙂
