No more dents in my bottle

i'm working on a bottle cosy for my stainless steel water bottle. when full this bottle can get heavy (it holds 40 oz.) and yes, it is then prone to getting dented when dropped. luckily, the bottle hasn't fallen onto anyone, it's only fallen to the ground and this is when the bottom dents. so far, i have two slight dents in the bottom edge of the bottle.

pictured here, is an inside out view of the cozy i'm crocheting with wool of two different dye lots of shades of narnia sprinkle dyed roving that i had spindle spun.


i'm using the shades of lavender/purple skein for the top portion of the cosy. this is the skein as seen to the right. details on this skein in this blog post here.

the bluish wool used for the bottom of the cosy is pictured to the left on the spindle. this is how the wool looks on the spindle as it is wound up on an Ashford Turkish spindle. the two piece of wood that cross can be taken apart and out of the ball of wool then off the centre of the spindle, leaving a lovely centre pull ball! at first i thought this was an unnessessary perk, but then as i've come to use the spindle more, i've noticed that i'm enjoying this feature as it keeps the spinning process that much neater.
