elizabeth_mnI made a couple coffee cup cozies yesterday and the day before. I got one of those neat faux-paper coffee cups and it needed cozies!
My darling little girl helped me to photograph this one.
I did them in stripes and I tried a new (to me) jogless jog technique from TECHknitter.
Normally I use the jogless jog described in Itty-Bitty Nursery, credited by the author to a Meg Swanson, also described here. It works fine for me, but I wanted to try something new, just for the heck of it.
On the black one, I used the stationary version. I knitted a row in the new color, then on the 2nd row with the new color, I slipped the first stitch.
There is a noticable pull along the color change column on the black one from slipping that stitch in the same place each time.
On the orange one, I used the traveling version. I slipped the first stitch of the 2nd color change round as above, but on the round before each new color change, I moved the marker, and consequently, the shaping, one stitch to the left.
I am not sure what the instructions for hiding the color change in the shaping were all about. I read them but they didn't quite make sense to me.
The cozy pattern is here and I used Cascade 220 wool and US sz 6 needles.
