While my sister & I were away in Japan her, hubby decided to go fishing/camping in a local spot they love to go. Their other camping friends told my sister they would look after/keep an eye out for him so it was rather a joke when one couple arrived with a Hot Rock

for him to keep his bed warm so he wouldn't be cold or lonely... when we got home & I saw the Hot Rock, I immediately asked my sister if I could crochet a cover for it as it was nice & smooth. I'm finding it very hard to find nice sized rounded smooth rocks & I've been wanting to crochet covers for rocks since I saw them first on Margaret OOman's blog Resurrection Fern. It took me no time at all to make the cover & put it on the Hot Rock...

My sister & hubby have gone camping/fishing again so they have taken the now Hot 'Crocheted' Rock with them to return to their friends... would love to be a fly on the tent wall, so to speak, to hear the reaction..

Like I said I've been admiring Margaret's rocks for sometime now & was thrilled to see where Crochet Today [a crochet magazine] was publishing an interview with her & some patterns but for the life of me I could not find CT in any of our Newsagents so was on the lookout for them in the Airport bookshops/newsagents... I really thought I had missed this issue of the mag as I found on the CT website that they had their new issue out already... we are just soo behind here in Oz, sometimes... but low & behold when I had just finished the Hot Rock, I found the CT mag in our newsagent when we did our grocery shopping after coming home... yaaa.

I really didn't need the patterns, as such, but I wanted to know how Margaret finished the underside of her rocks which turned out to be just about the same as mine...

Well this looks like it for this post... I can't seem to download/upload? whatever, the rest of my photos & as it has taken me about 5 hours to get this far, I think I will call it quits for today...
