The last of the hot water bottles...

 My final hot water bottle cover of the winter
A nice to do knit, no great thinking yet not mindlessly tiresome, from Debbie Bliss' The Knitter's Year enjoyed as much  as the first time I used the pattern last autumn here. This time knitted in Rico essentials soft merino aran in sage. And it really does look sage-y so please forgive the photography. The fact that it is indeed sage is why I used a pretty gentle pink velvet ribbon for the bow. Sage green and pink together... dreamy.

I have more wintery knits to share, maybe before summer!

  1. I am liking this hot water bottle thing, I love the idea of a hot water bottle, but no longer use one. Funny that, as we always had one when I was a kid, but then we lived in a farmhouse where you would get frost on the inside of the windows, so I guess it was pretty crucial. I do like the idea of snuggling up with a book and a hot chocolate and a nice, cosy, knitted bottle though....must try it! Bethx

    1. Hmmm, nice thought. Well, maybe not today with the sun blazing! Sadly my hot water bottle is nothing like these lovelies - maybe I should start knitting now so I have a pretty one too next autumn!

    1. Thank you! Another lovely knit book full of things I want to knit right now! And yes the sun is now shining as it has taken me months to reply, but my knitting is never seasonally appropriate!
