How to Knit Your Water Bottle a Sleeve

About a year ago I had an idea for my next YouTube video. I had knit some covers for my water bottles ages ago, but I love them and use them all the time. 

Once upon a time I wrote it up as a pattern. But it is kind of complicated. It would make an excellent video.

I started filming October 20th (2024). I finished the last clip on June 17th. In between, I had to rip out and redo it a couple times. I made some glaring errors. At one point I had a cold, and you can hear me sniffling on camera. 

It's finally been edited together (by my amazing brother), and I just uploaded it to my channel. Here it is. 

It is over an hour long, so only sit down to watch it if you're interested in knitting yourself one. (They are fun. It's worth the effort.)

  3. I like that purple you used in the video. And the lacy pattern. I never could learn to knit, so didn't watch an hour!
