Why Didn't Anyone Tell Me?: Sharing the tea cosy love!

Why Didn't Anyone Tell Me?: Sharing the tea cosy love!
Ok, so it started with one tea cosy and now there have been three more! One for a gift, one ordered by a friend and another to pop into my shop. They are just so lovely to make and seeing them sitting together with their different coloured roses makes me smile. I've had quite a few emails asking if I have a pattern for these and until now I'd just made them up as I went along. Here are the things you'll need to get started. To get started, make an initial chain just long enough to go around the base of your pot so it sits just to the sides of your handle. Then Ch2 and work one HDC into the third chain from hook. Work enough rows of HDC (always adding a Ch2 before turning) so that your cosy sits just below the base of your spout. Now place a stitch marker in the centre stitch. If your pot is like mine and has a fairly wide spout I leave a space of 5 stitches to accommodate it. You can now fasten off this section. Continue working in rows until both sides are the same height. Enjoy!

Crochet with Raymond’s Granny Tea Cosy | Cosy Tea Blog Here’s a gorgeous cosy for all you crochet addicts to get stuck into. Granny Tea Cozy from Crochet with Raymond Now if you are a regular reader, you’ll know that primarily we feature knitted tea cosy patterns, however, I can’t help but feel like we’re leaving all our lovely hooker friends out! So today’s cosy comes from the lovely Alice at ‘Crochet with Raymond‘, a blog I discovered recently and have added to my feed. I would suggest having a read if you like spinning, knitting, crochet and cats! This pattern is made in a fairly simple crochet stitch, which is all explained in great detail on the pattern page here. This is a perfect cosy to crochet if you are fairly new to the skill, as Alice’s tutorial is so helpful! Alice has lots of other patterns available on Ravelry, including bunting, booties and a coffee cosy. Like this: Like Loading...

Tutorial Flor Sunkissed I was playing around with this beautiful Sunkissed yarn by Scheepjes and ended up with this.... Posted a photo on my Facebook Page and a lot of people asked me for a pattern/tutorial. I don't know yet what I'm gonna make, but already made a tutorial for all of you! Odessa’s Three Colourwork Cup Cosies | Cosy Tea Blog While trawling Ravelry this afternoon, I came across these beautiful cup cosies, the free pattern created by Odessa Reichel. My does she have some amazing designs! Odessa has written a really neat guide to knitting from charts on her blog, included in which are these cute free cup cosy patterns. This is a great pattern if you are new to introducing colour into knitting, and knitting from charts – the instructions are really well written. And who couldn’t resist making one of these? Obviously fabulous for keeping tea warm, but if you’re partial to a nice chilled frappe or an iced tea, they can help prevent hand freeze too! On the tea front, this week I’ve been mostly drinking Cosy Organic Earl Grey. What’s in your cup? Like this: Like Loading...

Loani’s Wild Tea Cosy! | Cosy Tea Blog Happy Friday folks! This week our featured free tea cosy pattern is the awesome Garden Party Tea Cosy, designed by Loani Prior, author of Wild Tea Cosies and REALLY Wild Tea Cosies . Loani has kindly let us use her fancy tea cosy pattern this week for Tea Cosy Corner. I am LOVING this cosy! It’s so dull and grey here in Bristol this week, this would look great in our office to cheer things up a bit. The cosy is knitted on 4mm (US 6) knitting needles and uses Noro Kureyon or Noro Silk Garden yarn. We’re looking forward to getting out teeth into this pretty teacosy pattern as it looks like so much fun - After making the body of the cosy in a basket weave stitch, which uses a mixture of knit and purl in rounds and rows, you make a little tray to put your knitted garden in, and then use a combination of knitting and crochet to make all the leaves and flowers. We think it looks fab, and can’t wait to get hold of Loani Prior’s books to see all the other patterns! www.grandpurlbaa.com Like this:

Bears Heidi Cupcake Tea Cosy by Jane Crowfoot | Cosy Tea Blog Hello and welcome to our 50th post! This week we are linking to this gorgeous free cupcake tea cosy by knitting expert Jane Crowfoot. Photo courtesy Jane Crowfoot Starting at the bottom, the cupcake case is knitted on 3.25mm double pointed needles in rows, which is a great way of knitting stripes without having to break the yarn and tie in lots of ends. It means you can just simply slip the knitting from one end of the needle to the other where the colour you require lies, and you can carry on from the other side. The rim and the icing are then picked up afterwards and knitted in one piece before making up. Jane Crowfoot is the author of Finishing Techniques for Hand Knitters (Search Press, £9.99) and is one of the UK’s leading experts on knitting. Have a great Easter! Like this: Like Loading...

Achar o fio à meada Por: Ana Pago 23/03/2015 - 11:35 • Fotografia: Paulo Alexandrino e Paulo Spranger/Global Imagens Já foi saber de velhinhas e donas de casa, tal como já o foi de homens fortes do mar e das minas. O tricô está de volta e há cada vez mais adeptos para quebrar preconceitos: lá por saberem dar às agulhas, as mulheres não são menos emancipadas nem os homens menos viris. A agulha direita dentro do primeiro ponto da agulha esquerda. «Tricotar é a minha malhação. «Houve várias mudanças a justificar que o tricô se tornasse uma tendência tão marcante. Ninguém sabe como ou onde surgiu o tricô, apesar de as peças mais antigas – datadas de 1200 d.C. e feitas em ponto meia, um dos mais básicos – terem sido descobertas no Egito, entrelaçadas com a ajuda de agulhas de osso ou madeira. «Fazer tricô tem este efeito de aquecer o corpo e a mente. «Nunca pensei divertir-me tanto», confessa.

Mãos de Vera TUDO SOBRE MANDARIM O mandarim é uma ave de pequeno porte, com de comprimento. São aves muito gregárias e, na natureza, nunca estão longe do resto do bando ou do seu parceiro. Os mandarins são brancos na barriga e cinzento mosqueado de preto no dorso e asas. A cauda é preta e branca. Cativeiro O mandarim é uma ave de fácil criação, indicada para criadores que estejam iniciando. Reprodução A reprodução se inicia quando as aves possuem cerca de 4 meses, entretanto, o ideal é permitir o acasalamento depois dos 9 meses de vida, visando que terão melhores condições de choco e cuidados com os filhotes. Logo em seguida o casal começa a preparar um novo ninho para outra postura.
