We are collecting once again for Seniors in our community. Four years ago the Downtown Auburn Cooperative was throwing around ideas of how we could give back during the Holidays.

It is a knit or crocheted wrap to put around a mug filled with a warm tasty drink to help keep your drink hot and to feel good on your hands as you hold your beverage. Simple to complex, there are a variety of patterns and themes for cozies. The one I show here is called, " Cabled Cup Cozy” a pattern by Natalya1905 on Ravelry and rated “Easy+”…you gotta like that! I chose a soft worsted-weight yarn and found this sweet button to finish it off (we have buttons just like it in the shop!). If you...
