Fewer burns

I was inspired by another Burdastyle member who made a lovely cozy for her water bottle out of yoyo’s.  I thought it was a wonderful idea, particularly since I’m always burning my hands on my non-insulated stainless steel water bottle when I put tea in it before I drive to school (oh how I wish I had time to enjoy a cup of tea before work).  So somewhere between Denver and Grand Island, NE, I made this one.  It reminds me of a little dress for my water bottle.  If you pull it down, it looks strapless, if you pull it up, it looks like a cowl neck.  It’s fun at any rate.  I think I need to put a backing on it, because the holes still let a lot of heat through.  That makes me sad because the backside of yoyo’s is even prettier than the front-side.  But function I think will win out over fashion this time.

 Let’s hope none of my students do harm to my yoyo friends.
