White Tree of Gondor Cup Cosy

I finally finished a cup cosy my husband asked me to make for him; it took me 2 weeks. Why? I offered to build him a house out of Popsicle sticks, he asks for the Taj Mahal. He wanted the White Tree of Gondor. I took the simplest chart for the White Tree of Gondor I could find on Ravelry. I painstakingly used 2.5mm knitting needles with yarn that requires 4mm needles; therefore, the fabric was nice and dense. I had to use a magnifying glass and my powerful OTTLITE to sew it together seamlessly. I used a beautiful silver yarn from my stash for the tree. I'm very pleased with the way it turned out!

Projects Done - Time to Post

At long last I can post projects I had completed for Christmas.  We're still working on Christmas and New Year's clean up and trying to get back to some semblance or normality.

The first item was a baby bee outfit for a friend of a friend.  She gave me some idea of what she wanted but no one outfit had everything, so I improvised and created my own version.

  

The second was a couple of caffeine cup cosies for in-laws.  Again, my own creation with my son's help.  I was so busy with work, I needed to enlist his help.  He actually did the crocheting of the base units themselves.  I later added the button loop and beads and embroidery.
