Whats on your work desk wednesday again , were lots of people around the world show the projects they have on thier desk today. If you'd like to join in the fun then it's simple , hop over to Julia's place
The teapots i picked up from a charity shop for £1 each . I got two because one is for myself, to put on the worktop in the kitchen at christmas & the other one will be donated to a local school for a christmas fete.
My little grandson came round for the afternoon yesterday so i could'nt finished the last one off , so i put it on my desk & ready for today to sew on the last bits.
They look great Jill, well done.

ReplyDeleteLove the cosies, very cute. Can remember knitting cosies as a child, they were the ones with ridges from top to bottom, don't even own a tea-pot these days.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting earlier, only just getting round to a few desks this evening - busy day, and no crafting.
The owl pattern came from here - http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=348646.0
I made a few amendments adding another piece at the top, enlarging the whole thing by cutting the pattern into quarters and spreading out a little and adding the semi-circles on the front. There are quite a few ideas about, I Googled owl pattern images.
Don't forget to show if you make one.

At first glance I thought you were making an artistic representation of the saying "about as much use as a chocolate teapot"... only a knitted teapot in this case, but now I see that they are actually extremely useful tea cosies - beautifully designed and made! Happy WOYWW!

Hope you are the Jill who visited me earlier as you didn't put a number and when I clicked on your name it wouldn't direct me to your blog.
ReplyDeleteLove the teapot cosies - fabulous and such good fun.
Thanks for visiting me and Hugs, Neet15 xx (who is playing catch up after internet went on a silly yesterday)
Love the idea of a christmas tea pot cover. I have a christmas oven glove I stand on my work top at christmas but never actually use as he is too nice.
