It's not something fancy and it's certainly not the most difficult but this cup cozy is my most used and useful knitted item that I've made.  I use it more than I wear my favorites socks.  And this is the time of year that they are an essential part of my daily life.  There is so much humidity where I live at this time of year that unless you want to grow your own mini pond, you have to have something absorbent to catch the dripping moisture around cold drinks.  I'm thinking about keeping one in my purse.  So many times I've had to improvise on the road with paper napkins wrapped around my To-Go cups but if I could just reach into my purse and pull one of these brutes out--well, problem solved! 

This is the only one I've made with a furry yarn.  Yeah, I know what you're thinking, "That fur stuff again, haven't we seen enough of it?"  Go ahead and think that.  I so happen to love these two colors together and I like that it looks like grass is growing out of it, like through the crack in a sidewalk.  Or like really hairy mold growing on bubblegum.

If you are so inclined to make some of these cozies for yourself but don't want to come up with your pattern (you could since it is so easy), go here for the pattern.  Keep in mind that the instructions do not show the fur version.  For that, you'll have to use your imagination (or just work a single row of the fur yarn every 6th row).  Then you too can enjoy a slip-free grip from drips.
