Not yo' mama's koozie...

I recently discovered that making a "coffee cuff" is a fun way to experiment with different stitch patterns while still making something useful. My first one was a mid-project switch, so it ended up being an improvisation on the beginning of the Fetching cables. For the second one, I took the stitch pattern I used for my grandma's Kindling scarf (faggoting stitch? = bundle-of-sticks stitch), and turned it into a sleeve.

I'd rather use my travel mug than disposable cups, but I think these little cuff-things work pretty well for the times I don't have it with me. And it saves a little piece of cardboard, I guess.

Here's the first intentional cuff:


Mmmmm... coffeeeeee...


A straight-on shot of the interesting part



One of my coworkers thinks I should sell these... I dunno. What do you guys think?

I see no drawbacks.

I personally think you should sell everything you knit :) You should come up with a clever brand name, too!
