Tea Cosy
Hey guys! I know it's been a while - I've been busy like a little bee knitting away in all of my free time making various gifts for people. I did, however, make one gift that wasn't a Christmas one and so I can blog about it!
When I first started knitting, my twin (in the ironic sense, she's tall, white and blonde; I'm short, brown and have curly hair), asked me to make her a tea cosy as her teapot was feeling cold and was feeling a bit sad about it. I promised her I would once my knitting skills were up to scratch. About a month ago I decided now was the time to try.
I found a pattern on Ravelry by Patons for a classic pleated tea cosy with a pom pom on top which looked cute. My friend's favourite colours were turquoise and cherry red. I held the colours together and didn't think they quite matched so I went for a deep turquoise and mint green. I'm pretty pleased with the result, especially as it's my first one using more than one colour :)
Well, that's about it for now!
UPDATE: My twin received the cosy and now her teapot is all warm and snug, yay!
