The weather in the UK has been kinda rubbish the last couple of weeks, and I bought a cute heart shaped hot water bottle... And I crocheted a little cozy for it too :D

what do you think?
ETA: I used just some cheap WW yarn and a 5mm hook, as I recall. I should have written down the pattern, but I just memorised it as I went along. It didn't take long and I was pretty excited the whole time... When it came to putting it together I was kinda nervous because I couldn't work out how to make it so I could just pop it in and out, so I sewed on 4 big plastic silver buttons that I've had laying around my house for literally 4 years. I bought them because I thought they were awesome, then I couldn't find anything to put them on haha! I made a supercute pair of gloves that were black and had hot pink around the cuff and buttoned up at the wrist. My girlfriend who I used to work with in London saw them the FIRST time I took them out and as I was drunk... I gave them to her. How irritating!
