The "Kimbles Cosy"

Hi there, I am loving this "blogging from the field" lark!  Mind you it does take aaaaggees to load everything up and I do have to persuade Mr K to let me have the wifi time but it IS fun! 

I was going to save this Ta Dah moment for the Tea Cosy I have made, but I am soooo surprised, and pleased  at how well it has turned out,... just out of my little old head - it materialised, I just COULDN'T wait to show you all.




I made two rectangles of this nice ribby pattern,



Sewed up the sides, leaving enough room for the handle and spout,


Then I gathered up the top and tied it in a knot



Sewed the ends in of course!


What could I do to finish it off?  I know


Loads of "picots"  and leaves later

Tah Dah!!!



It's already in use!


No more "chilly Tea"!!

Speak soon xx

  4. I love your tea cosy! I would like to make one too. I started a pattern but it is taking a lot of yarn and I don't have enough to finish it. Thanks for sharing your "pattern". It looks easier than the one I was doing. I'm blogging from the field too...so I know what you are going through. Luckily this RV park has excellent WiFi.
