We've been drinking juice from glass bottles again, lately, because we think it tastes better. I threw out the first couple of bottles until I realized how pretty they were. Simple, straight, clear glass bottles. The perfect vase for spring flowers, or for the willow catkins we still have (they started to shoot roots). The perfect water bottle too, and since it comes with a lid, we could even take it to the park for a pic-nic.
I also kept them because I had a couple of decorating ideas in mind I wanted to try for the longest time. And here's the first one: a crocheted bottle cozy (or is it more like a cuff?) inspired by this This may seem like a bit of a stretch, but really, these pillows are what got me inspired!
Since I didn't have a pattern readily available and I didn't feel like counting from a picture either, I decided to do some free style crochet instead. And I'm totally pleased with the way it turned out, to the extent that I want to further explore my free style crochet capabilities... To be continued...

WOW! The bottle looks fantastic in it's new outfit.
Pretty! And very unique. Makes me wish I could crochet!
This is gorgeous! I just love your clean style and when I realized you live in Paris, so I'm commenting again to invite you to my blog party whose premise is "international" so I really need some English speaking crafters like you from around the world to reach my goal!
Please drop by @creativejewishmom.com!

the bottle cozy is fantastic! you are so smart and creative! it reminds me of a spider's web.
I think this is just beautiful! Especially the free form of your crochet. This is a great idea for juice jars.

Very delicate and such a nice idea!
The bottle looks like milk bottels we get here, so I will get some of them and think about a decoration as well.
That's just perfect! Not too much, not too little. Well done you!

I love that inspiration can spark something quite different from itself. The inspiration and your interpretation/exploration are both lovely.
