Anna Mae Chick Coaster

Meet Anna Mae, she’s the first member of our Chick coaster series. As some of you already know we moved to the country a few months ago. We love our home! I cannot help but have a new coaster for my desk, counter, end table or wherever I might need it. Find the details below, and purchase an ad-free PDF by clicking here. Enjoy!

Queue & Favorite on Ravelry! Recently I started making my coasters out of Nature Spun 100% Wool. Since I currently don’t have it on hand I chose to go with Peaches & Creme 100% Cotton. I’m sure I will be making it again once I get the Nature Spun in from my LYS.

>>> PIN IT FOR LATER! <<<

Right now it is all about using up yarn that I have on hand. I have so much yarn (not necessarily cotton) it’s not even funny. I am working on stitch-in up a lot of it and maybe have a few fun things happening with some before the next shipment comes in.
