Sipp-A-Roo

I knit this water bottle cozy for Erica. We have a store up the street called "Healthy Green Goods" that sells all environmentally friendly products. I bought the water bottle there. It's all glass, which is supposedly better for the environment, and cute, too!

I knit the cozy with a wool yarn and then felted it in the washing machine. Here is a before picture:

It shrunk quite a bit after just one short hot cycle--I nearly cried when I saw how small it got! We stretched it out though and it got to be the size I was hoping for. :)

The handle is short because it's meant to put over your bike handlebar (probably with a plastic bottle inside though instead of the glass).

I love how this came out! I still have almost a full skein left of the yarn I used...maybe I'll make one for me next!
