the Cable-Knit Coffee Mug from Starbucks

My mom and I stopped at Starbuck’s early in the week for a little refreshment. We sat in the easy chairs, sipping our coffee.

“That mug looks like it has a cable pattern on it,” said Mom.

I stood up to see, and there it was! A cabled coffee cup!

It’s anatomically-correct, too. The 6-stitch cable twists are on a purl background. The eight cable panels are separated by 2-stitch ribs. A very cute gift for a knitter.

“That’s blog-worthy!” I said. “I’m buying it.”

But I didn’t buy it after all. She bought it for me. Thank you, Mom!
