I finished my Hot Water Bottle Cover!

We had lovely sunny days over the long weekend but the evening were cool enough for me to enjoy my hot water bottle. I will have the pattern up in the next day or two. It knit up so quickly with City Tweed Heavy Worsted. I used Jacquard.

Very nice Kelley!

Comment by Puffy Griffinclaw on May 31, 2009 at 4:48pm: Maybe this is a dumb question, but does the cover help the bottle retain heat? I remember using the old red rubber bottle as a kid and it seemed to go cold pretty fast. I've come to enjoy the buckwheat style bags because they stay hot a long time, but the idea of a cozy hand-knit cover could draw me back if it helps hold onto heat. It is a very neat gift idea, too. Don't have to worry about size!

Comment by mysterJay on May 29, 2009 at 7:19pm: Very nice. Seed stitch is one of my favorite stitches.

Now I want to make a hot water bottle cover. I don't have a hot water bottle though.

Comment by cellogirl on May 27, 2009 at 7:17am: Very elegant hot water bottle cover!!--we'd have to turn the a/c way down to use one of those!! Great gift idea and it's time to think gift-wise!!

Comment by Barb on May 26, 2009 at 2:26pm: Perfect Christmas presents! Or 'get well' presents! Is it just a plain old red rubber hot water bottle inside?
