O.k., so it was Memorial Day weekend and hubby and I were eating barbecue with friends. She is a knitter of socks, and he is a brewer of beer. He was complaining that she knits too slowly to make him a beer cozy before he retires. So, I came up with the answer: Crochet!

These are worked in Tapestry crochet using worsted cotton. My husband designed the charts for me!

My hubby is an Army vet and our friend is active duty Air Force. No Sailors or Marines were represented, so they don't get a groovy charted design!

I thought something might be a little military with the radio jargon... Very ingenious! :D

Wow, a hubby who asks you to crochet for him. I've never had that before. And one who helps you chart - I'm speechless.

Great job. I hope they enjoy their beer cozys.

Way cool! Would you be willing to share your patterns?

Absolutely. However I am a bozo when it comes to the computer and sending things through e-mail etc.

Any one who wants a chart and a brief description of how I made these can send me a private message, and we will work something out.

I'm honored that you like them.
