Quick knitted hot water bottle cover

DaisyAlice - I taught my grand daughter to knit a while back and my youngest made herself a very beautiful neck cowl. Just one long tube and sewn up at the sides. Really easy. Or a basic garter stitch scarf using odd bits of wool.

Thank you for all of your kind words.

Totally brilliant !
Well done .

I'd like to have a go at learning to knit. What would you suggest for a beginner please?

Thank you Witzend - I really do have the knitting bug. Our kitchen will get the pre-christmas blitz just before christmas. the rest of the house has had a big tickle.

Two more hats to knit for presents for friends. One I started last night and hope to finish this afternoon.

Big pain - one of my fillings has dropped out this morning and cannot get into the dentist until 16th December. Oh well - happy knitting.

Knitted a cowl to go with the jumper I made for myself earlier, last night. Just sewed in the ends. Cast on a hat this afternoon for another friend for christmas.

You really are going at it hammer and tongs, Purplepixie!
👏👏. Surely a GN record?

What with the pre Christmas housework blitz (badly needed, believe me) all I’ve done in the last couple of days is nearly a finish a pair of worry-monster’s pants for Knit for Nowt - I don’t like to think of why the therapists need them - it’s depressingly obvious.

I dare say they’ll eventually fit my ongoing Big Fat Ted, but I prefer to think of them on the worry-monsters - I did make a few of those previously, too.

It looks great Purplepixie, well done.

Thank you. No pattern - I just made it up as I went along.

That looks so warm and cosy in those colours!

It's so nice, think I need to knit one as just filled a hot water bottle. Is the pattern available please? Wow, made in one night, you are a fast knitter. Give me a few weeks at least!
Many thanks.

Lovely!

That’s lovely, Purplepixie! You must be breaking knitting records lately - so many lovely things!

It’s lovely, I so envy your knitting skills!
