More Christmas presents: the wine cozy

Now that Christmas is gone, I can show all the gifts I made but hesitated to blog about in the fear the recipient might read about it here! Nick's slippers were the first one, and here's the wine cozy.

It was a gift for my sister's husband, accompanied by a bottle of German organic white wine. He seemed to like it!

The stats:

Pattern: Knitty's Wine Cozy

Needles: 4mm dpns

Yarn: Kilcarra Aran Tweed

Mods: knit in the round

I liked this knit, it was quick and fun, and simple enough. The yarn was a surprise to me, I had bought this one ball in Ireland way back just to give it a try. Now I did, liked it a lot - and don't live in Ireland anymore! Bummer. Must see if I can get one of my Irish friends send me some over!
