By the Pool Coaster
An unexpected invitation to spend a lazy afternoon sitting on the patio near a neighbor’s newly installed pool, sipping wine and knitting has left me scrambling for a quick hostess gift. While flowers would be nice, a quickly knitted coaster made from leftover sock yarn would pair well with a bottle of wine or some wine glasses. I can even knit a second one while I am there.
