Well now, all your coffee dreams are about to come true. Introducing the Made with Moxie Mustachioed Mug Sweater! Tired of your coffee mug having a chill? Need a sexy little pick me up in the morning. Search no more!
The Mustachioed Mug Sweater makes a great gift for all the hot beverage drinkers in your life. And who doesn't love a hot beverage? Rock one of these babies at work and you'll be the talk of the office. Slip one on at home and you'll have the kids wishing they had one too. (I've totally got to make one for Jane now, too. With a pink mustache.)
Added bonus: the make time on the Mustachioed Mug Sweater is short so you can have one done in no time. Bingo!

Disclaimer: I have no data regarding how much longer the Mustachioed Mug Sweater will keep your coffee or tea warm. I just made it today. In the very least it has got to add some insulation to your mug, especially if you use cotton or wool yarn. But more importantly, you're adding some moxie to your day.
love love love!! and everyone needs some more moxie in their day :) of course, i have no idea how to crochet... harumph.
ReplyDeleteDon't let that stop you, it's so easy to learn! Also, this is a very easy, beginner-worthy project. I've taught myself how to crochet by using the internet. Youtube has hundreds of videos on crocheting. It's a great skill to have!

ReplyDeletethat is such a great idea jill! i love it. i HAVE to wake up before my kids and have a few sips of coffee. when that doesn't happen i spend the first few minutes saying "i just need one sip of coffee, hold on!"

ReplyDeleteThat is brilliant! My husband has just shaved off the mustache he grew for 'Mo'vember (thank goodness, I hate it!), so maybe I should make him one of these to help ease his pain over losing it!
