It's been a long time since I've posted, but I've still been fiddling and faffing about with things. Tea cosies seem to be claiming my attention lately and I've struggled with patterns. I never knew there were so many different sized teapots around, so in the end I just came up with my own pattern. For no other reason than "why not?" I decided that as we've a Jubilee coming up, I'd have a go and see what I could do in red, white & blue. What do you think? Enough roses, not enough roses, enough leaves, not enough leaves? Decisions, decisions...
Does the basketweave stitch work? I'm very unsure...I need help! Should I make more? How much would I sell it for?
I've made a lot of other flowers too which are really difficult to photograph, but here are a few. I've got a lot of ideas floating around in my tiny mind, but working out how to press/stiffen/attach the things is proving hard!
And finally, just because....here's my beautiful house guest who's been a very poorly boy lately. He's on the mend now which is a huge relief, but I'm really going to miss him when he goes home.
Aww, Reggie :-)
Off to stare at some more crocheted flowers now, to scratch my head and wonder how to bring it all together

Well, you little fiddler and faffer, you fiddled and faffed something really very pretty indeed. I love the tea cosy! Just the right amount of flowers, but could do with a few more leaves, I think. Well, you did ask.
I wonder whether it would fit my teapot.................
Oh My! I have this on my to-do-list and never got around to it.... simply becos.... wait for it...
We don't use teapots.... LOL!
Your basket weave looks FAB! Good job!
I wanna crochet a tea cosy too! but can't decide on a pattern!
Good job on the tea cosy... I have since abandoned my trial piece!
