Here is a little project that I came up with that should knit up real fast! I wanted to create something that would satisfy those out there that want instant gratification. This would make a great little gift for a friend, teacher or grandparent. Behold........ the Coaster!!
The yarn I used for this particular Coaster is; Louisa Harding-Jasmine. It was so nice to knit with. I used quite fine needles to knit this: 2.75mm. The yarn and the needles produced a fabric that isn't to drapey, not too stiff, not too sloppy! I especially loved the metallic thread in this particular yarn. I purchased it at Spun here in Burlington. Here is some more info on this lovely yarn- here.
I also knit this Coaster up in a few other yarns in different colours that go together nicely:
All three yarns are a sock wt yarn and have a gauge of 28sts/4". I used size 2.75mm needles.
Pink Yarn: Bernat Sock yarn (sorry but that is the only info I have as I have had it for a very long time)
Green: Viking Baby Ull
White: Viking Baby Ull
I love these little Coasters. The nice thing about this little porject is that it knits up really quickly- anywhere from 1-2hrs depending on how fast you are. It takes me about 70 mins to knit up one. So with a little yarn and a little time in the evening you can have a nice gift for someone you love or knit it up as a little treat for yourself.

I hope you have enjoyed this little "candy" for Valentines Day!
Have a great day everyone!
