Swatch turned Cozy
Swatching for the Calligraphy Cardigan has occurred (finally). I have been meaning to get going on this but I wanted to finish up a few other tasks (like my lemongrass sweater) before I got distracted with the shiny of new yarn and new project. Of course, being a crafty girl I decided to not let the swatch go to waste and made a coffee cozy instead. Every coffee needs a cozy right?

Pick up 3 of every 4 stitches along one side, knit in seed stitch for three rows, bind off as above for next row. One stitch remains, turn work, pick up stitches and knit 2 rows in seed stitch again. Third row bind off. Do the same with the final row.
Weave in ends and sew on buttons.
