I don’t even like tea, but Leah makes the most gorgeous, flower-covered teapot cozies, and I have coveted them like mad. And actually, I have a lot of teapots, because I keep thinking one day I will learn to love tea and then I’ll be ready. So when lovely Leah blogged about how she makes her tea cozies, with a whole excellent photo tutorial and everything, I dropped everything and made one, too, and then I bought some tea. I am determined. I will learn to love tea, just for this.
I mean, really. Isn’t that the most sumptuous thing ever? Don’t you just feel like having a wee cuppa right now? I know I do. And maybe a little jam bun to go with it, and it’ll be a little damp outside, probably raining, and there will be a cozy fire in the grate, and a good friend across the table, and lots of warm chitchat and knitting. All this can be found here! Leah, thank you for sharing your pattern.
Wow that is an awesome tea cosy indeed! Beautiful! Well done! Yes, it's raining here too so I'm off to put the kettle on ;-) have a great day!

Oh my! That is one adorable tea cozy. You did a great job on it.
ReplyDeleteIt's a beauty you clever thing. You don't need to like tea to be able to appreciate a nice teapot either :0)

Try rooibos ;-) With honey/sugar/none, hot/cold milk or none...its lovely.
ReplyDeleteIt is very cute and does make you want to sit down in front of a warm fire and have a cup of tea!~Patti
ReplyDeleteGorgeous - so pretty, it makes me want to have a sweet tea party. How about filling your pot with hot chocolate? xx
ReplyDeleteNow you're talking! That's a great idea!
DeleteI absolutely KNEW that was Leah's!! She loves cozies so much. You have made a beautiful job of it. Have you tried alternative teas like jasmine or camomile? Lily. xxx
ReplyDeleteChamomile is nice, I will admit that, especially when I have the sniffles. :)
DeleteLeah's was the first tea cozy pattern I read that finally made sense to me. Yours is just super cute, love those flowers. I like a good Japanese green tea, with toasted rice, like hojicha, or gen maicha. Kind of has a nutty flavor. Or just good old English Breakfast. Anyway, go ahead and put some coffee in that pot. I won't tell :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tea cosy! I love a cup of tea and I think it tastes even better when it's from a teapot covered by a tea cosy! It makes having a cup of tea making more of an event! Hope you get to like it so you can use and enjoy your lovely tea cosy!
ReplyDeleteI try to love tea, too. My goal is to love tea instead of coke, but I haven't gotten there yet:) Your cozy is lovely!
ReplyDeleteTotally amazing. I have this pattern bookmarked, too.

Your Tea Cosy is lovely - I like your choice of colours.
ReplyDeleteClaire
I'm coming,too! For a cup of tea, some chitchats and lot of knitting!! Like your cozy a lot!

Beautiful! like everything you make :)
ReplyDeleteThat really is beautiful and pretty flowers set it off a treat. However sadly I also can't stand tea....... maybe I'll have to buy a coffee pot?
ReplyDeleteOf course you whipped one up just like that because that's what you do best. Creating like crazy and always something fabulous. I don't like regular tea, but love all sorts of organic, green and white teas. How can you not love a teapot that's dressed so gorgeously!???! Have a wonderful weekend. Tammy
ReplyDeleteThat is just yummy!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous tea cosy. I can see how it would make you want to drink tea!!

Now this has made my day! Your cosy is absolutely adorable!! I'm so glad you liked the pattern hon. Even if you don't like tea, it will look pretty on a shelf somewhere. If I am completely honest, even though I have more teapots and cosies than any woman needs in a lifetime, most of my cuppas are made with a teabag and a mug. I always plan to make them properly and sit and enjoy the process but normally it's a quick cuppa, standing at the bench while doing other jobs.
