Ha, ok, I’m just kidding about having minions. But it’s great to have crafty friends. Especially ones who continually amaze with their humor and the ability to make you say “Holy crap, I want one of those!!”  pretty much every time they make something. Such is the case with Maryse. My internal List of Things to Make is continually updated when she finishes something. Except for that crazy scarf‚ of many colors. I love it to tiny bits, but just looking at the bag containing the gazillions of little globs of yarn required to make it, well, sign me up the next beach sand counting detail and let’s leave it at that.

And Ms. M has done it again. But this time, it’s with an extra dose of glee for me. Ya see, she’s gone and made a Kitsch Kozy. For the book! How cool is that? Now I feel like I’ve made it to the Big Time!

Maryse has posted directions on how to make this particular brand of granny goodness. Check it out! The best part is that she made hers out of non-kitschy classic wool. Was it because she felt the book deserved better? Has she developed a petroleum allergy? Uuuh, nope. Turns out she dumped all her acrylic on me back when we were making stuff for the Tin Can Alley patterns. Sly, Maryse, real sly. Oh well, more book covers for me.
