toxo Posted April 19, 2024 Report Posted April 19, 2024 Never felt the need to do one of these before and the only reason for this one is because I broke my favourite cup. Normally I'd chuck it and buy another but my mouth is dry all the time and so I take a couple mouthfuls often. The tea gets cold and I re heat it in the microwave all the time. A normal cup is too wide and the tea gets cold quickly whereas a narrow mouthed cup stays hot for longer. I found a narrow and tall cup which is perfect. I broke it and can't find another so after looking at it I decided, before I bin it to grind down what was left of the handle and make a koozie so I can hold it. I'm amazed at how simple it ain't. Because it's not straight all the cuts are not what you'd expect. I eventually worked it out and as usual I'm enjoying the learning. I've got most of it done and tomorrow I'll need to learn the basketball stitch. I think that's the one I need. Quote

Can't wait to see how it turns out. Quote
