Not Persephone Grey

I've just posted this on Ravelry. The pattern for the hot water bottle cover is from Jane Brocket's book The Gentle Art of Knitting and it's easy peasy. Jane has knitted Literary Hotties to match grey Persephone books and orange Penguins. Here's something more lowbrow. It looks orange but is actually bright red; the light is terrible today. The buttons are vintage ones from my stash.
