Cosy Tea Cosies

I've just finished knitting another two retro style tea cosies.

 
They keep the teapot nice and warm because they have a double layer - unlike many over-priced single layer cosies I've seen in some trendy shops!

 
I've now started a lovely pastel pink and lemon one.

 
Love, Liz

I love these retro style tea cosies! My mum knits them, using a pattern my gran used, so I have two in different colourways. They are a classic.

I wish my knitting were as evenly tensioned as yours... Lovely teacosies! Have a great weekend!

These are lovely! With the texture, I bet they're fun to hold in your had, too!

Ruth Kelly said...

That looks like a very interesting knit pattern. Do the tea cozy help keep tea warm or are they just for keeping them clean?

These are so cute. We don't really use tea cozies here in the US. I once knitted one for a tea drinking friend of mine and she sent me a note thanking me for the HAT!

Your tea cosies make me want to go out and buy loose tea, they're beautiful, I remember my Nan having cosies like this.
We are a bit lazy in our house and only use tea bags. lol

I love these style of cosies, brilliant traditional makes. My favourite is the second one because of the colours.

I must pick up my knitting needles again and knit some more. Pastel pink and lemon were the colours my attendants wore when I was a Rose Queen. I think I will also add a green.
Love from Mum

I know what you mean about the single layer ones - pants. These are gorgeous AND practical. Well done x Jane ( P.S. I'm loving the new header - my mum has some of the crinoline lady gold china and she used to tell me that it had once belonged to the Queen!)
