Linden Cup Cozy

Hello Lovelies!!!

It’s been a minute since my last blog post! This fall has been so incredibly busy and I just don’t know where all the time went?! Between the kids in school, doctors appointments and everything else, the days are just flying by!!

I absolutely love the creativity of other makers in the crochet community. With Halloween right around the corner, some of the people in my testing my latest pattern really had fun with! They definitely did not disappoint when it came to their photos. 

I am especially enjoying how this wonderful fella is enjoying a fall afternoon, drinking his favourite drink and sporting the Linden Cup Cozy in his favourite colours!!

Lets just say, I approve! Haha. I won’t lie, I wouldn’t have thought to do this and I am so glad Crystal was in the Halloween spirit and got this photo! 

Are you ready for a Spooktacular Halloween??

I know I will be taking my children around the neighbourhood while they trick or treat and I definitely think I will be walking around with a nice warm drink. Here in Alberta, Halloween tends to be quite cool and bundling up in jackets and mittens are a must.

Even though it can be quite cold, I have a lot of fun walking around while my kids are trick or treating and seeing all the little ones in their costumes. Honestly, I love seeing the super itty bitty ones toddling around and watching in wonder! It’s also so fun seeing the older teenage kiddos who have made super unique costumes and are going around with their friends! They have always been kind, well mannered and they will always be welcome at my door. 

As you probably have guessed, this weeks blog pattern is the Linden Cup Cozy. It is an incredibly quick make with fun texture. The colour combinations are endless and it’s functional. 

It's quick make season!!

I really love quick makes, its almost instant gratification! Quick makes are perfect for in between those bigger projects!
