AprKAL2013 - Steeking Coffee Cosy

Today is 29th of April,.... my April is quite busy but I feel good about it! :)

AprKAL2013 from KAL on Google+ has 2 challenges in April. Early this month, I already finished one, Double Knitting Pot Holder.

As of today, I also finished another challenge - steeking Coffee cosy.
What is steeking? 
When u are knitting with multicolor pattern and knit in ROUND, then CUT the your fabric and turn into FLAT.

I just found one short video from Knitting Daily, Eunny Jang demonstrates 3 different techniques of steeking, from 2:30 on the  video :). 

For me, I just followed the designer, Rachel Henry, from the pattern I followed on ravelry.com. When I was going to CUT my work, I was struggling & undo the crochet and do it again as I felt I need "Double CHECK"! ahahahah  But I did it! :) YAY

Coffee Cozy

2013,... I have been knitting "something" but not all in good progress BUT finally I have one finished object done! haha

This one is a birthday gift for my friend and funny thing is that we (her husband, our gf & I) made a surprise for her!!! hahahahahah She was so shocked to see us when she arrived at the cafe! :P

This is my first attempt to knit a coffee cozy & I picked this pocket one as I think it would be nice to insert a Starbucks gift cards with it!!!! I am happy that I can learn a NEW SKILL of how to knit a pocket like this! YEAH!!!

As her name is PEARL, so I made a crochet flower with a "pearl" bead! Isn't it so sweet?!?!! XD

Hope she will enjoy her coffee with this lovely cozy!!!!! 

love love, k
