Hot water bottle cover

Americans seem to be missing out on hot water bottles, as far as I can tell anyway. They are wonderful, cheap, portable, heaters. I feel lost without one on a cold night or when I'm feeling poorly. This water bottle cover is for my sister, Miss C. The pattern is available here for free. I knit it up in Sidar Crofter Chunky. It is a lovely soft cotton/wool/acrylic blend. I'm not sure it shows off the cables as well as I would like, but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I had to get a little help from my friends at my local library knitting group to get this started, but it wasn't a bad knit. I'm pretty sure I will use this pattern again. I just need to find some more hot water bottles. They are not easy to come by over here.
