And something for my swapper

If you haven't already started anything - I bought a teapot, I found it too hard to design my cosy pattern without something to try it on. If you have already started a cosy, or something else - that's fine, I'll still by a teapot to fit and pass this teapot onto my Mum who could always use another teapot. So here is a pic:


Measurements are 45cm around widest part, 31cm around the base, 14cm high but it's 17cm measuring from the base to the nobbly bit ontop because of how fat the belly is. For scale it's next to my 13cm tall broken pin-thing in which is an impression of my 6.5cm thumb.

Hope that helps, if not, feel free to ignore! :D

Okay, I lied

I cast on for my tea cosy for my swap buddy before my february baby sweater was finished - but I mean sewing on buttons and weaving in ends doesn't really count now does it? :P But it's okay now - my tea cosy is 90% finished I'm just waiting on a trip to the craft store to pick up some bits to finish it off - sneak peeks to come next post - and the febuary baby sweater is complete - buttons and all! See - here's the proof:

I've also been busy dyeing up some yarn and making some stitch markers and earrings for my swapee.

This was my first attempt at making stitch markers so they're a little bit uneven but still perfectly functional. I'm really pleased with how the yarn turned out though - so much so that I want to keep it for myself, but repeat after me "I have enough yarn, I have enough yarn........."
