Lovely Cuppa Char

Having signed up to Ravelry, it only seemed right that I should start a blog. I've only got 3 friends on it, but you never know, they might want to keep up with news of my day to day frustrations and knitting traumas.

At the moment I'm wondering why there's no double knit acrylic in my stash with which to make a tea cosy. Not very trendy I know, but I need one to keep my tea warm as it's cold over here. Normally I should have tons of double knit hanging around, but no, I made the big mistake. I had a clear out.

Clear outs are always a bad idea - you just know that a few weeks later you are going to need what you threw away. Now I'll have to visit the market and buy some super cheapo stuff, still at least it allows me to choose my colours.

This is what it should look like once it's finished, though this one is by Yasmin of Knit, Shear Bliss.

I thought I would go for black and white, or black and red for mine - for more of a goth / punk look. Although I'm not sure that a tea cosy can be considered goth or punk.

Well that's it for today's posting - I'm sure this will keep me busy and away from doing anything more productive, like actually making the tea cosy, or even making the pot of tea for that matter!
