Knitted hot water bottle cover

Toasty knitted cabled hot water bottle cover
The sun's been dazzling Manchester for a few days. Despite the melting ice creams, sticky tarmac and shirtless men everywhere in this city, winter is approaching. In preparation for the cold weather I've been knitting, and have completed this hot water bottle cover. As a fan of cable knitting I'm pleased with the final result and have given myself a pat on the back.
The tasty pattern is available for free on The Cake Plate. Om nom nom.
PS to the knitters - you can find me on Ravelry.

  1. Great job! I really want to learn to knit, but I haven't gotten the hang of it! I learned to crochet last year, but it's hard to switch to the other side (knitting) :)

  2. What is it with women and hot water bottles?

    My mum is a healthy 75 yr old and she always asks me if I want one when I go to visit when it isn't high summer. The question is always asked as if there's just a slight possibillity that I won't make it through the night if I decline the offer.

  4. I REALLY want to get into knitting but need my mother to be free so she can teach me! And even if it was sunnier that day in Manchester, it will soon change, perhaps we need to start making waterproof products, surely a market for it...
