What happened to the handle?
Handle-less mugs offer a cozy and intimate way to enjoy your favorite beverage. While they lack the convenience of a handle, holding the warm cup directly provides a unique tactile experience. The sensation of the heat can be comforting, but it may verge on discomfort if the drink is too hot. These mugs, with their elegant design, encourage you to savor your drink and engage your senses. So, despite the potential for a minor burn, handle-less mugs add a touch of sophistication to your daily routine and invite you to slow down and enjoy the moment.
Luckily we can buy cup sleeves OR… We can use our amazing crafting skills and make Crocheted Cup Sleeves!
This way it is possible to enjoy a hot drink before it cools down too much.
Crocheting with beads
I recently purchased some organic linen which had a rough look to it. I thought adding some beads would act as a great counterpart due to their shimmering look.
When using beads one really needs to know exactly how many to use, as you add these to the string before crocheting. So too many means you will need to push these throughout the entire project; too few means you will have to frog your work in order to add more.
This was also the case with my crocheted cup sleeve?!
