Drink Bottle Covers

I just made these Bottle Covers over the last two days.

As we are going camping starting tomorrow, I thought my girls needed a cover for their drink bottles so they (or me) could tell which bottle was who's.




This one is made from 8ply Australian 100% wool with a mocked cable pattern.

DPN size 4.5mm

My eldest daughter wants this one for work. I think I will have to make another one a bit longer for her drink bottle.





This one is made from 8ply New Zealand 100% wool with a different mocked cable pattern.

DPN size 5.5mm








This one is made from 10ply New Zealand 100% wool using the same pattern as above.

DPN size 5.5mm






This one is made from 12ply Australian 100% wool using a combination of the first pattern with ribs.
DPN size 5.5mm
The last two covers are for my girls and the other two I will give to the other little girls that camp with us.
Still working on the right pattern and tension as the bottles are all different sizes and shapes.
Working on one for me now. See if I can get it finished before to night?















More Dyeing

Have been doing a spot more dyeing in the last few days.
These will be up for sale in February so here is a sneak peak at some sock yarns that I have dyed.

My youngest daughter also tried her hand again at some more dyeing, all she wants to do every day is dye wool.
