My mug cosies

This weekend I saw a lovely mug cosy on Etsy - it was pink (my favourite colour) and had a cable pattern running through it.  I loved it and had to investigate to see if I could find the pattern and make my own.

I did find some patterns but thought I'd better practice a bit first - here are my efforts and although I do like them for some reasons mine don't look identical to the one I found on Ravelry so I might have to do a bit of tweaking!  Like a daftie I have now deleted these pictures but my attempts have got better I'm glad to say so now I have included some more recent pictures!

Although I have to say, overall they look quite good together!  This week I think I will have a go at experimenting with some of the other designs on Ravelry and work out which cups to cover as I think that will make all the difference. 

What do you all think?  Is this something you would use at home or buy at a craft fair for a present?  I would love to hear your thoughts.
