French Press Cozies

  A couple of months ago I challenged myself to invent a cozy for the French press I received for Christmas.  I adore the coffee this little thing makes, but I don't adore how quickly it gets cool.  I thought I had really come up with a genius idea.
  Well, my genius idea was apparently thought of by many more before me!!  It seems everyone is now using French presses and have found the need for cozies for them.  I love the thought that the cozy will not only keep the coffee from cooling off so quickly, it also will protect my precious press if it accidently gets knocked over or dropped.  Yes, my kids and grandkids are a bight rambunctious from time to time.  :)
  This morning I went through a few of the links to different types of cozies I had saved.  I thought it was a great time to get this project completed, and would be a fun thing to share with you.  There are just tons of links out there, I tried to include a variety of types for everyone.  Still trying to figure out which one, or two, I will be making.  Watch for pics to be posted soon!!!.  Let me know if you make one and I would love to see pics of what you create.
