Minnie the Moocher Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Was it Billy Connolly who said, "Never trust a man, who alone in a room with a tea cosy, does not try it on" Are you going to use it or wear it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chook n Boo Mum Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 They are gorgeous ! Easter pressies !! Might have to brave the library & see if they have a copy of this...is it a book or what I'd call a "mag" book? Can't buy it new, so would need to borrow it!

oniondog Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 have you tried http://www.knittingpatterncentral.com cathy x I made this one on that site: http://www.knitting-and.com/knitting/patterns/teacosies/daffodil-st-cosy.htm I made it in dark pink and a black-purple for a friend, and it was a really nice pattern to knit. It's kind of ra-ra skirt layers, quite old-fashioned but somehow rather appealing! I've got time to think while I knit a little hat for a new baby!!! I've just been doing the same. Will post a picture on a new thread! Can we see yours too please? I'm always on the lookout for nice baby hat patterns! Happy knitting!

Janty Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Those people who I promised a copy of the book to, don't think that I have forgotten you. I am waiting for the other patterns to arrive from America and I will include copies of those too. Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
