The weather has been bitterly cold in Kansas of late, and I finally broke down and bought something I’d always wanted: a hot water bottle.

Once it arrived, I knew it would need a cozy.  A quick turn through Ravelry and I found the perfect pattern: Handspun Hottie by Laurie Claire.

Then I went diving into my bins of handspun fiber to find just the right yarn.  I found some fabulous fiber dyed by Two If By Hand that I purchased and spun in 2011!

Two short days and I had my very own hot water bottle cozy!
