	So, i was set! i had my yarn, i had my bottle & off i went.. first, i crocheted the base which was just a basic circle... and then i decreased it in a manner that caused it to cup & cover the bottom of the bottle.. from there, i just kept fitting & refitting it to the bottle, increasing & decreasing as necessary so's to fit its odd contours. ~~when i~~ got to the last bulge at the top, i added in a strand of fishing line (4lb, i believe), for added strength with the thought that most of the strain of the weight of the bottle would be about there. The rest of the holder & the strap were crocheted with yarn & fishing line in that manner.		So, I was set!

There's a story about this bottle holder...

Once upon a time, i decided i needed a holder for the weird water bottle i had 'cuase it was awkward to carry around. And since it wasn't a standard size or shape, i had no pattern. i generally prefer to have a pattern to make things 'cuase when i try to make them without one, Bad Things Happen.

The rest of the holder & the strap were crocheted with yarn & fishing line in that manner.

..and then it was finished! It was a little tricky to slide on & off but i was pleased with it in spite of some stretchyness involved.

And then One Day... i spilled something on it & thought, golly, i need to wash that or it'll get stinky. But it's wool! it'll shrink!
