As promised, here’s another one of my beginner’s knitting projects. I’m still learning and can barely read a pattern. I have no idea what a yarn over or a slipped stitch is, but I can knit, purl, and bind off like a pro! And this Knitted Coffee Cozy from The Sitting Tree is pretty darn simple. At first I was totally intimidated by the idea of binding off and adding stitches in the middle of a project, but it’s not as hard as it sounds.
Give this project a try! If you have questions about binding off or casting on mid-project, check out these YouTube videos:


That’s really cute, I love them. And nothing in knitting is beyond learning. Most stitches are pretty straight forward. I find youtube videos great because you can see how the stitch is done. Keep going, it seems like you’re doing great!
Thanks, Jenny! I’ve got a few more projects in the works, and so far, no major goofs!
