Tea cozy

[bunrab]

I am inflicting the dreaded homemade tea cozy on my partner in a tea swap!



It's knitted; the top is a flap that opens up; the tea-cup design is part Fair-Isle, part intarsia; the yarn is Jo-Ann's Angel Hair. The fuzziness of Angel Hair combined with the layered strands of Fair Isle should provide pretty good insulation. The design is purely improvised - I "knitted till it looked like a tea cozy." It fits a standard-shaped 4-cup teapot.

Hey, my swap partner SAID she likes purple!

I got several compliments on my blue hat the other day - :) Its so snug. Possibly will post a picture to illustrate. Thank you again. :) Great now that I can wear it!

Objectively, I know that the seasons are opposite there, but as a matter of gut feeling, it's hard to think of May as "autumn"!

I deal with it each day now. Try having July 4th with your hands freezing, and August when the trees are bare. September brings spring, not autumn colours.

Sometimes its interesting, sometimes I don't notice, but sometimes... it makes me feel sad.
