Tea Cosy with Flowers
Finding myself house-bound the last two days, I decided to dig into my stash of knitting wool, design and make a new tea cosy for my favourite white porcelain teapot. There was quite a bit of trial and error, but finally I got the look I wanted!
I always drink herbal tea from a bone china cup or mug because I think it tastes better! My favourites are a very old cup and saucer which belonged to my grandmother - and a newer mug - all of which are decorated with violets. So I thought it would be fitting to make the tea cosy in a deep shade of purple with lilac, pink and white flowers decorating the top.
This was so much fun to make and I am going to make another one for a tea-loving friend. She reads my blog so I don't want to give too much away - but it is going to be SO pretty!!!

You have made a delightful piece and I am sure your friend will take great delight in her gift.
ReplyDeleteI love the cosy Carol and violets on china are a great favourite of mine. I agree about drinks tasting better from bone china, I can't think why that should be but it definitely is.
