Water bottle carrier

I walk along beaches and around parks so I always carry a bottle of water with me. This holder is crocheted in acrylic and I used Tunisian crochet for the sturdy handle.

I normally sling it over my shoulder so the bottle tucks against my back near my arm, thus leaving both hands free.

Have I thought of a full water bottle being a potential defence against a menacing animal? Hell yes!

The Scarf

I rarely knit now that I have discovered crochet, but I made an exception for this gorgeous scarf which I made from pure wool and mohair. It is a simple straight scarf, wide enough to fold in half lengthwise, with a moss stitch border and garter stitch. This will keep the brother's neck warm!

I went beserk and crocheted him some slippers too.

Isn't he a lucky bloke!!

More Hats

Friends are about to visit a cold place so I made them hats:

the brim should protect his glasses from rain

such a pity the subtle colours don't show
