Observation #1: Friends are over for dinner and a movie. They are all perched on chairs and couch, awkwardly juggling plates with drinks clutched between their knees or left in designated spots on dining table.
My Deduction: They are not putting their drinks down because I have no coasters.
Solution: Knit and felt 6 coasters and a coaster caddy out of Noro Kureyon # 180.
Observation #2: Friends are over again for dinner and a movie. They are still perched on chairs and couch, awkwardly juggling plates with drinks clutched between their knees or left in designated spots on dining table. Or worse yet, clutching a beautiful coaster and looking around confusedly.
Realization: The problem was not a lack of coasters, but rather a lack of coffee tables or end tables on which to put coasters.
Conclusion: Handknits are not always the answer.
Does anyone have a pattern for a felted table?
Addendum: I wish I had made the coaster caddy a little smaller, but I was not entirely sure what the shrinkage factor would be during felting, so I over-compensated.
Solution: Knit and felt 6 coasters and a coaster caddy out of Noro Kureyon # 180.
Conclusion: Handknits are not always the answer.

These deserve some comments because I for one am coveting them big time!
