I need a cozy for my **** ;)

With the early fall cool temps I have remembered that I need to find a cozy for my Whalen ****. I thought about changing back to the stock for winter, but really like the weight of the Whalen, just wish it wasn't so cold.

Anyone have any ideas?

iPod socks work very well.

Check out infant socks

these work well and are pretty cheap. And they come in pairs in case that you loose one!

Would be loose, but the blue bags that Crown Royal comes in might be a quick fix. I use those for so many things.

When the temp gets either real hot or cold I usually just remove my Whalen and take it indoors with me.

Thanks for the recommendation Doug Minintrigue (or anyone else) I'd be happy to knit you a customised gear **** warmer

I knitted a few for friends last Christmas and as more people saw them they wanted one to match their MINI, or in the colours of their favourite football team etc.

Here's the one I have in my MINI -



I can knit them in any colour (assuming I can get the wool )



I've knitted over 100 now and the money raised from them is going towards my son Will's working trip to Namibia next July.

They're warming (or cooling) gear ***** all round the world now

If anyone would like one please let me know
