This whimsical cosy is designed to fit Ikea’s ‘Riklig’ 1.5 Litre Glass teapot (it also may fit other pots of approximately the same size). This pattern is an intermediate knitter’s delight: knitted in one-piece, there is no cast-on, no bind-off, no blocking and no seaming, and plenty of scope to express your knit and tea-personality by using bright colourful or stylish vintage beads and tassel combinations. Begin with a slip-knot which is worked into a circular coaster base using double-pointed needles. Switch to circular needles and continue single-strand, working some handle shaping before knitting back and forward with a lovely lace motif. Finally, divide the stitches in half and work each tie-top one at a time up into a triangular shape, before finishing with a bead and tassel. This pattern includes guiding photographs of each step, including creating the tassel. Scour your local op-shop for some vintage or unusual beads, or save your scrap yarn to make contrasting tassels to match your favourite tea-wear, or to the taste of friends and family as a delightful gift.

"The first "Tea Cozies" book (a charming introduction to knitted, crocheted, or sewn covers that keep a teapot warm) was so popular that we needed to create another! This new collection features a fantastic range of motifs, including a cheerful Sunflower Garden with tiny bees, classic blue-and-white Cornish Ware pattern, and adorable Little Black Dress for the well-dressed teapot to wear. A techniques section explains the basic skills, and the original designs--all created by readers of" Knitting" magazine--are as easy to make as they are colorful and imaginative." ~Guild of Master Craftsman "A tea cosy (American English tea cozy) is a cover for a teapot, traditionally made of cloth or wool, which is used to insulate the tea, keeping it warm while it brews. Cloth tea cosies often have padded inserts, which can be removed and washed separately. Many tea cosies in Britain are hand-knitted, resembling woollen hats, even featuring a bobble on top. Although the history of the tea cosy may begin when tea was introduced to Britain in the 1660s, the first documented use of a tea cosy in Britain was in 1867. It is probably the Duchess of Bedford who, by establishing the activity of afternoon tea in 1840, would have brought the popularity of the tea cosy. Afternoon tea was the time for networking and keeping up to date with aristocracy gossip and topical news. With all the chatter at teatime the teapot would get cold, which would have at times cut short some tea parties. And so, the tea cosy came about. Tea cosies then flourished during the late 19th century, where they appeared in many households across Britain, motivated by the obsession of decorating and covering objects characteristic of the Victorian era." You can read more here When I was looking for a new project to knit, I wanted something that was relatively easy, but also charming and useful. When I spotted this photo on Stephanie's blog over at Curlew Country, it spoke of cosy comforts and domestic charm. I was envisioning all the garden teas I would host; my lovely knitted tea cosy adorning my tea pot. I ordered a tea cosy pattern book from the library, as well as browsing web sites to give me ideas. Who knew that there was such a variety of creative and gorgeous tea cosies out there! It was overwhelming! *The following tea cosies were all found online* I thought I would give you a 'fashion show' of tea cosies and I will let you pick your favourite: ♥~1~♥ ♥~2~♥ ♥~3~♥ ♥~4~♥ ♥~5~♥ ♥~6~♥ ♥~7~♥ ♥~8~♥ ♥~9~♥ lovely felted teapot cosies: ♥~10~♥ ♥~11~♥ ♥~12~♥ ♥~13~♥ And the tea cosy I knit was for my middle daughter who loves all things british. Now I want to make the adorable clothesline tea cosy, featured on the front cover of the book I shared with you. It's called: Wash Day...how cute is that? I'd love to make a floral and fancy tea cosy as well. Which one would you make? There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea. ~Henry James, The Portrait of a Lady * images found online *

Remember this yarn? Purchased on a whim ages and ages ago? I chatted about it way back in April. I bought it after I had decided I wouldn't buy any more yarn till I'd finished my WiP's. My children aren't the only ones who don't listen to me, I don't either. I love the icecream shades. L♡VE them. L:O:V:E L:O:V:E L:O:V:E And so I adore my tea cosy. Lots of you guessed right, it is indeed a tea cosy. Not the tea cosy I had planned originally as I got carried away on a whim. I'm pleased with the stitch the main cozy is made of. It's griddle stitch and is very easy. You chain as many as you need then: Row 1 double crochet to the end. Row 2 double,treble, double, treble to the end. Row 3 as row 1. Row 4 as row 2 and repeat till you've got a large enough piece! Always start with a double crochet then a treble then a double etc....on the even rows. I'm chuffed to bits with the roses. The shape is perfect, the way the petals curve in on themselves is so pretty. I've Julie to thank for directing me to this pattern as she told me where to find it and then updated her sidebar so you can make a rose or two should you wish. (edit. It's no longer in her side bar so here is the link) I'll enjoy making tea much more. Less dunking the bag in the cup from now on. I'll be using my tea pot complete with cozy and having a little ritual once all is quite. Tea from a favourite mug, maybe something to yummy nibble on (when the diet is over) and five minutes peace before cranking up a gear and trying to get all the boring stuff done so that I can keep the evenings clear to craft and blog. Something happened yesterday which has really made me evaluate my blogging. My dearest Bee has read my blog this week. I've never kept it a secret from her, I've taken photo's of her for this blog and I've talked about her in this blog. She's in my cast list in my side bar, she was even a follower when I was with typepad but she has been very busy with her family and work so computer time is limited for her. I don't think she realised how much I've been loving blogging. We are like sisters. We grew up together and have been through everything side by side. We now live an hour away from each other and we don't get to see each other often enough. Whenever we talk on the phone you can guarantee a child will start pestering us, or a there'll be loud crying as one of the kids tries to kill the other, or someone needs a wee.... you know how it is. So I don't really chatter on and on about my blog. We talk about what we've been up to, the good and the bad. We chat about "stuff" we could talk for hours and hours about nothing. We could talk four times a day and still have more to chat over. But we don't get the opportunity. We are always pulled away. Bee works two evenings a week and by the time Mr C and I have had our meal (late by most peoples standards) and tidied up Bee is usually tucked up in bed or flaked out. I am a bit of a burn the candle at both ends and so I sit up blogging and crafting and not really able to string a sentence together. I sort of switch off and get lost in crochet! What I'm taking an age to get to is that we were on the phone yesterday after Bee had read my blog for the first time this year probably and she tearfully said she felt like she didn't really know me anymore. That my blog is a part of me she'd not seen properly before. I mean, she knows I like to make stuff, I've sat making stuff when I'm with her (and tried to help her with learning crochet) but I guess we are too busy talking about all the other stuff that she was unaware of this side of me. So I've been thinking about how and why I blog and if I live too much in cyberland. I haven't come to much of a conclusion yet but I generally feel that as I do all this stuff late at night or little bits though out the day, upload a pic while the tea is cooking, a type sentence while the kids eat...Crafting while waiting for the school gates to open or the boys swim...I kind of feel that my blogging/crafting fits in and around my real life. I guess I'm surprised to find that I hadn't been blathering on and on to Bee about it. And as a result she felt a bit disconnected from me. I don't like that. I don't like to hear her tears down the phone, not when it was sort of my doing and I'm too far away to be able to fly over to her. I'm rambling. But the upside is that she's started blogging!!!! She's always written a diary so she will like blogging (I hope!) It'll be a fantastic memento for her children in years to come. Anyway brain dump over... I dressed all wrong today. I assumed it would be a grey mizzy day again and so put some bright clothes on. My mistake? Thick purple tights. I had to come home to change out of them and find my flip flops before I started to over heat and pong! xxx ps
