I finished my hot-water bottle cover. It was an extremely easy (and quick) project. It’s not quite perfect – the position of the eyelets is too low. I should have tried it on the hot-water bottle and started the double rib 5cm later (if that makes sense).

I’ve been working on the above cardigan since March and I’m struggling – I’m not even half way through yet. I decided I needed a new project to inspire me.
The latest Notebook magazine had three knitting projects – a shawl, blanket and hot-water bottle cover. I decided to try the hot-water bottle cover – it uses 14ply wool and 6mm circular needle, so I thought it would be a quick project.
Here is my progress so far …
I’m using a circular needle – I found out the hard way that the length of the needle needs to be about the same or less than the circumference of your project. I’m sure that 80cm 6mm circular needle will come in handy some day.
As it is cold and wet and my sewing room is freezing, I think a bit of knitting might happen.
It was time for a change. I’ve updated WordPress and changed the theme. The image in the banner is the fabric from my Mod 9 quit.
