Random Quick Tip!

Can Cozy
Now that it is summer and you are probably drinking more beverages that come in a can, you might want to make some can covers to absorb the condesation out side the can. Well the pattern for the JPFCup would work great for this! You can get the pattern at
//www.jpfun.com/patterns/14misc/jpfcup.shtml. But if this does not work for you, you can make a simple dc circle then when it gets to 2-1/2" in diameter, just continue working one dc in each stitch around joining at the end of each round until it is the right height for the can. I would think using Variegated cotton yarn would work best for these covers.
