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.)

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.
