Just add a little magic

I like checking out all the newest patterns uploaded to Ravelry and by far my favorite this week is the Ice Cream Pint Cozy (non-rav link).  Because I don't mind admitting, ice cream consumption plays a large part of my summer survival strategy.  As I've whined mentioned in the past, my apartment is a sweltering hotbox.  But no matter how many thermal window covers or strategically placed fans I use, all it really takes to cool me down is a few spoonfuls of frozen goodness.  I also don't mind admitting that in the tradition of those who live alone, I don't usually bother with scooping it into a bowl and just eat from the pint.  So I could get a lotta use out of that particular knitted item!

So if you take this:

And combine it with this:
