Tea cosy

I finished my tea cosy yesterday and last night I made some felted flowers and leaves to attach to the top, instead of pompoms or crocheted loops. Marley and Sam went through one of the button tins and found two pearly buttons I used as the flower centers.

Ruled by impulses

All last weekend I could not stop thinking about knitting a tea cosy. I'd pick up my sock knitting, or blanket squares, knit for few minutes, maybe read a chapter or two in a book, then stop to look up tea cosy patterns.

Finally on Sunday night I decided I'd better do something about this obsession that was distracting me. I gave in to the nagging knitting idea, pulled out some lavender wool and some amethyst wool, found a tea cosy pattern with lots of explanations, and started knitting.

I feel much better now.
