I'm thrilled to be an occasional 'craft contributor' on my friend Nicola's beautiful blog Homegrown Kitchen, which is all about making lovely healthy and delicious food. My first post is about making a hot water bottle cover from cosy knit fabric. I hope to contribute a post each season from now on.
This coming weekend marks the winter solstice and on Wednesday we observe the start of Matariki (Māori New Year). I get great comfort from knowing the days will get a little longer from now on.
We are really into hot water bottles in our house – and just tonight both kids have requested them for their beds. Making soft and warm covers for the bottles is a good wintry evening activity – once you have your pattern cut out, you can make one for everyone in a couple of hours.
