Winter Warmers

I love hand made gifts. All the more if they have been made by the giver. I appreciate the time & thought put into the gift. 

This Christmas I wanted to give hand made gifts, that were easy, if not quick, to make.

So I came upon the idea of crocheting hot water bottle covers. 

My first attempt was very "Rustic."  

(My word for a little shabby 

& obviously home made!)

After working out the glitches I came up with a pattern that I could duplicate. Each cover took about 4 hours to crochet, adding extra time for decorating.

I used ribbon & buttons accessorise the covers & added the recipients initial.

Yes: most of them went people whose name began with J!

Merry Christmas

& a Happy

New Year!
