"love the pattern, but do you have to use these specific needles sizes? or can you take it down to say a 9 and a 6?"

"I just love mitered squares! They have so many uses, and once you know the basic idea you can use them for anything. These coasters are a perfect hostess gift or a stocking stuffer."

"Very cute! This is one cozy I'd actually use - it has some style. I could see redoing it in different colors for different holidays or to match your favorite travel mug. Great pattern!"

"This is very pretty. I used to hook rugs a long, long time ago and often want to do it again, but the commercial kits are just plain ugly. I will save this pattern in case I feel the urge again."

"Another thing I could have made instead of bought for next to my front door. I could do this for my back patio door - and I just know the cat would enjoy it, too. I love cables, so it's perfect."

"The older one gets, the easier one feels chilly - not only at the feet, but also around the "middle section“. The solution to this is a garment that is called Haramaki (腹巻, literally "belly wrap" or "bellyband") in Japanese. This one is not only a tube, but a piece of clothing that can be wrapped and adjusted around belly and hips with a strap on either side. The piece is knitted all in garter stitch and therefore quite easy to knit. It is suitable for beginners as well."

What an unusual garment. It's always interesting to see what people knit in other cultures and what they use it for. I never get cold around my middle but if I did I'd definitely give this a try.
