nanna delux



i made this little tea cosy for my love for his birthday, from a pattern in really wild tea cosies by loani prior. he's been complaining for so long that we didn't have one that i just had to ... what grown man complains about the lack of a teacosy anyway?!

it's a simple pattern to follow, being mainly various sized granny squares in single colours. i used jo sharp silkroad dk tweed yarn in magnolia, peppercorn and treasure colourways and classic dk wool in teal and navy colourways (incidentally, when i went to double check the colour names, i've just noticed that they're both on sale on the jo sharp knit website).

i added some little ties at the top instead of stitching it together as the pattern suggests. our teapot seemed to be a little shorter and fatter than specified and i was worried that i wouldn't be able to squoosh it in when full of boiling hot tea.




i'm playing along with everyone at my creative space.

That is bound to keep him happy and his tea warm for a while. I love the colours you have used.
