Wine bottle ruffle

How cute are these wine bottle ruffles?  They aren't just for decoration either, they are to stop red wine drips from getting on your table after your pour a drink. I had some extra black aplaca and owed someone a small thank you gift after having us over for a dinner party and I thought it would be a fun little project. I got the idea from Interweave Presents Knitted Gifts: Irresistible Projects to Make & Give.  They are very easy to make - just a few hours at most.  Black will work great too because if the yarn was too pretty, you wouldn't want to get wine on it either!
