Mrs Frugal Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 I can't knit to save my life but thought that this might tickle some of you knitters out there http://www.santaspostbag.co.uk/12-days-of-christmas-3-french-hens-tea-cosy.shtml Apologies if it's already been posted !

Mrs Frugal Posted October 11, 2008 Author Share Posted October 11, 2008 If I could knit, I'd make it into a beany hat instead . It would look sooo cute with the hens on top . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizzle Knit Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Thanks, that's great. I'd love to knit a tea cosy even though I have no need for one as although I use a tea-pot I hate tea when it's been stewed. But I still want to knit one! It will go on my ever expanding list of things I'm planning to knit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 It's great - I don't knit at all anymore though! Wasn't it Richard who knitted one of these? - I seem to remember something about it..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 That is so lovely, shame that I can't knit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizzle Knit Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Just had a trhought - there's a pattern for a cottage tea-cosy in Nov's Let's Knit mag - I'd quite like to combine the 2 patterns to make a cosy with 3 hens sitting on a chicken shed (could even be an eglu in the appropriate colour!) And it includes a pattern for cottage egg cosies, which could also be adapted. Knitting, chickens and tea - the perfect combination! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha Ha I tell you what if you promise to wear it I will knit it for you............ I would too . You should see the silly woolly hat with earflaps and tassels I wear when it's cold now .

Nicola H Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Ooops . Should have kept quiet, shouldn't I . Oh no don't tell me the bet is off.......I have already started to knit it, it is looking good. I think I will make it quite big so that you can pull it down over your face so that when you are out you won't be able to see people pointing and laughing....

Mrs Frugal Posted October 15, 2008 Author Share Posted October 15, 2008 I wonder whether he'd want to borrow the hat for golf? You'd be amazed at the headgear he's worn there when it's cold . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Frugal Posted October 15, 2008 Author Share Posted October 15, 2008 No, but for a charity match, he wore a baseball cap which we'd made look like a crow carrying a golf ball in its mouth - the club logo . Must have looked pretty daft walking down the fairway with big black flapping wings on his head . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Frugal Posted October 15, 2008 Author Share Posted October 15, 2008 Unfortunately we lost the only photo we had when my old computer crashed and the repair company wiped the hard drive. A shame because he looked a complete numpty in it . He won a prize for best hat though . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
