The recent passing of Leonard Nimoy was truly sad. Although he played many roles and had a great career, to me he will always be Mr. Spock. In honour of the great man I have crocheted a trekkie mug cosy. Get crocheting, adorn your mugs and lets raise a cuppa to the legend that is Leonard Nimoy.

You will need

Oddments of DK yarn in blue and Silver , I have used: Rowan Handknit Cotton in blue Rowan Cotton Glacé in silver 3 .50mm (US E/4) Crochet Hook . 1 x Button Tapestry Needle
