Snowy Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Have just had a go at one of these: Mine is not quite finished as I need to add the buttons, but I've used identical colours. Very simple to make and looks fab! Only took a couple of evenings, so a nice, quick project and great to use up s"Ooops, word censored!"s if you do the stripes a bit narrower. Got to do another one now for the tent teapot, in red, white and blue! Free pattern here: **Easy Ripple Tea Cosy** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer Jane Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 That looks lovely. I'm still a novice with crochet. Do you think it is easy enough for a beginnner? I'm making a sun hat at the moment, but the crown is more tear shaped than round , but then, so is my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you've got the hang of the pattern it's very easy - and if you have to frog the first rows a couple of times before you get the hang of it, it doesn't matter because it is small Go for it! This is my effort - my teapot is a bit small and dumpy for this size though I need a bigger teapot! I like that you can pour without removing it.

Guest Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 can't quite believe my luck! Picked up a smashing freecycle offer today; 9 unopened issues of 'the art of crochet', 10 of the little balls of wool that come with it and a binder to put all the issues in. I won't be short of projects for a while! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MummyHen Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 love the tea cosy i seem to have a weird liking for tea cosies Is that not normal then? Now that I have finished my big blanket I'm looking for a new project - may be a blanket for my son, or a few smaller projects - tea cosy will be added to the list I'm in the middle of creating some items ((secret so shhh) for my swap partner on a crochet forum) which I will post about in a week or so once my swap partner has received them. I had to go to hobbycraft and pickup some bits and bobs and they had a special on Sublime Baby Cotton Kapok DK, all pastel colours, 50g balls for 1.99. I couldn't walk by - 11 balls jumped into my basket Poet - what a billiant find Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadietoo Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Not trying to swamp the forum but have just posted on what have you been making my first ever crochet project, entirely inspired by the wonderful attic 24 ...a granny blanket..my thumbs may never recover!!!

MummyHen Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Wow - thats lovely. the colours are great. Well done If your fingers hurt - have you tried clover hooks with the padded thumb bit. if you know what i mean?!!? What are you going to work on next? I'm having a break from crochet at the mo but will be starting a new project at the beginning of June. I have to finish off some items for a swap and then my new project. It will again be Lucy Attic 24 inspired Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 I love those blankets, will have to work up the patience to do one someday! I got some red sparkly wool from Aldi recently, it's far too itchy to make into a hat but it's great for decorating hats! Just need to finish off this hat I made tonight by attaching the flower and making the other flower into a brooch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
