If you can cosy a tea pot...

...then you can cosy a cane, right?



Unfortunately, the shiny metal bit is right where my fingertips rest. And shiny metal gets bloody cold in winter. So I'd like to knit a cosy. I have some ideas, but I'd love to know if anyone here has done anything similar or has ideas.

I figure two options - one, just knit a little sock for the metal bit and slide it on, two, knit a handle for the whole thing (Which might be nice when it gets even colder, since wood isn't the warmest thing either.) in pieces and sew it on.

Any advice? I'm guessing sock yarn would be a good one to use, about the right weight, and it needs to be something that will stand up to being touched constantly.

I think I've seen something like that yarn at the store around the corner, so let me know if you want some and have trouble finding it.
