I've created both of these before in different colors. The french press cozy is a request from my uncle, and the cat is for my cousin who is about to have a baby. When I find something I like knitting with that is also machine washable, I'll knit her something useful like clothes ;)
Coffee press cozy:
I discovered the french press cozy pattern from Derek & Lauren via Design Sponge. The wooden buttons are from Britex fabrics, and the fibers are from Imagiknits and are a wool and a wool silk blend. The request was for woodsy colors because the recipient is retiring from the forest service. So, I chose the darker green fiber because it has a texture that reminds me of moss when knitted.
Kate:
Kate is made up of kid mohair and wool blends also from Imagiknits. The creator of her pattern and many other fun things is Jess Hutchison. If you like her style you may also like the knitted creations by Anna over at Mochimochiland

What a great use of our wooden buttons! I adore the cozy, and have often wished for one to keep my morning coffee hot. If you love our buttons, we just started a buttons only Twitter called Button_du_Jour.
