I was sidetracked from my holiday knitting this weekend with a request from Oldest Daughter. Seems it is getting cold up in The Great White North and she would like a hot water bottle. There is no way I could give a naked hot water bottle to anyone. My very first thought was...cozy! I feel certain you would have done the same thing.
I used Mountain Colors – Mountain Goat – Chinook, from the stash. I just love the way the colors pool across the bottom, but not on the turtleneck. While this is not a colorway Oldest Daughter would choose, she is a lover of all fine colors and should be happy. She finds it funny that I make cozies for things, especially when I do not have a tea pot cozy. A tea pot cozy is pretty much a requirement for all knitters who drink tea.
Updates:
Border Patrol Socks are finished.
Fleece Artist 2/6 Merino – Mermaid. I reinforced the heels and toes. This is one of the last pairs of 100% Merino socks I will knit. I figured I would at least try the reinforcement.
Shetland Lace is coming along.
The color change happened the way I anticipated and I am happy with the yarn choice. Now that I have that information it will probably linger for a while as my attention is on other things.
I have begun a new pair of socks. It is still dark so I will need to wait for another day to photograph and post about those beauties.
