Microwave Cozies: A Perfect Gift for Newlyweds

I recently made these cute 100% cotton microwave bowl cozies for some newlyweds.

I use mine everyday when I microwave my oatmeal. I place the bowl of oatmeal in the cozy and stick them in microwave to heat up. No burnt fingers from touching the hot bowl, just steaming good oats. The perfect breakfast of champions.

You can purchase them at my Green Gable Studio Etsy shop https://www.etsy.com/shop/GreenGableStudio or by contacting me at greengablestudio@gmail.com

1, 2, 3, 4, 5….Market Bags

It’s Been the Summer of Market Bags

It started with my SIL. She asked me if I could make a blue bag from a pattern she liked on Pinterest, the Sakura Market Bag pattern. I thought, “Sure. I’ll give it a try.” It turned out beautiful. I would highly recommend the pattern. Then she wanted a second one. So I made another one, just like the first.

Next, my daughter asked for one. I decided it would be fun to try to create my own design.

So….I had to make a couple, three for myself.

And a friend asked for one.

Well…I couldn’t leave my other daughters out.

You can see where this headed, right?

Market Bags are now available at my Etsy shop, GreenGableStudio.

Handknits, Yarn Haul

Summer Sweater Knit

I’ve been making tons of market bags for others. As soon as I finish one, I start another. They are such fun to crochet.

But my hands were itching to knit a summer cardigan just for me. When I found this yarn at my favorite local yarn shop, The Farmer’s Wife/The Yarn Studio, in Casey, Illinois, I knew it was the yarn for me. It matches perfectly my odd colored, yet beloved pants. (Don’t tell my husband I bought more yarn!)

Then I went on a Ravelry search for a pattern and found the Solana Cardigan by Irina Anikeeva. The cardi is going to be so lovely…and soft. Watch for progress updates.
