... a new hot water bottle cover


My old hot water bottle cover, made in November 2009, after 2 years of very hard service has finally disintigrated.  I have had this old grey jumper in my stash for ages and have long thought it would be the successor to my lovely blue stripy cover finally hung up it's hat.  I used tapestry wool to do some rows of embroidery around the cables on the jumper to make it more decorative and am very pleased with the results. 

This is another crafty bargain costing me just the price of the electricity for my machine with an old jumper for the outer and an old tshirt for the lining, tapestry wool and sewing cotton I have been given.  Great!
