Another yummy hot water bottle cover.

 This was sent to my Mum for Christmas. It's the same pattern I used for my sister's hot water bottle cover, but this time I put in the optional cable down the middle.

 Pink continues to be my mothers favorite colour, so I used Cascade Yarns 220 superwash paints wool. There are some great colours of this yarn. I added a few extra stitches on either side of the cable, because I thought it didn't look wide enough, and I put the cable on both the frond and back. I filled it with Reeses Mini Peanut Butter cups, and put it in the post. Boy are those chocolates heavy!

I love hot water bottles! I'm really happy with how this cover turned out. Luckily hot water bottles are much easier to come by over in England. My big sister and my niece sewed hot water bottle covers for my kids and I as Christmas presents, and sent them with much needed hot water bottles inside. We couldn't be more thrilled with them. It has been sooooooooo cold here lately, that we have been enjoying them night and day.

Pretty little hottie.

 This little hot water bottle cover was gifted to my sister, Mrs. W. for her birthday this year. The pattern is available here for free. I chose to make it striped, but I'm thinking of making another one with a cable down the middle. The yarn was in my stash and was perfect for it. I love the pretty colour variations on the contrast colour.

 I've got a few things knit up I can't share until December, so you probably won't see any posts on here until then. Right now I'm waiting for some yarn to arrive, and I'm feeling a little lost with nothing on my needles. I might have to just start something before my Christmas present yarn arrives. I don't think I'll get a lot knit for Christmas this year. I always have high hopes, but leave it too late. If my yarn doesn't arrive soon, there may be no hand made gifts this year. Shocking I know!
