Yes, I am one of those

Have you ever seen those knitting books and think to yourself, now who on earth would be crazy enough to buy that book and make anything from it?

Like the book "Hot water bottle cozies."  I mean, that's that's screaming crazy knitter.

I made one for myself a couple of years ago. I love it, I must say. So much so that I made one for a friend. She is going through chemo and one of her side effects is that she is intolerant to cold. Which is kind of a problem in February here in the midwest.

So I made her a fleece blanket. And a hot water bottle cozy. I hope she likes it.

Here it is, blocking the entrelac part before I added on the ribbing "collar."  I put my finished one next to it to make sure I blocked it out to the right size.

I love the entrelac with the noro kureyon.  Very fast, satisfying project.
