Skyline Tea Cosy

Here's my new pattern - the Skyline Tea Cozy. The pattern can be found here: http://www.scribd.com/doc/118240155

This came about after I bought my tea-obsessed boyfriend a chic new (manly) tea pot for Christmas. I wanted to knit him an equally manly tea cozy along the urban/ chic kinda theme. I used a free online knitting chart creator (http://www.tricksyknitter.com/pages/knitting-chart-maker.php) to help me design the skyline.

I've added an attached i-cord to the bottom edge to stop it curling, using Crafty Conservative's clear instructions: http://craftyconservative.blogspot.co.uk/2007/06/attached-i-cord-tutorial.html

This hasn't been test knit, so I'd be grateful for comment, questions or suggestions.

Thanks,

LittleBean

Christine Bag

Like most knitters, I've got more WIPs than FPs! This one I actually managed to finish, and in quite good time. Nothing like an outfit that needs a fab accessory to speed up the needles! http://www.ravelry.com/projects/ldonaldsonld/christine-bag

Little Bean Knits

Welcome to Little Bean Knits! I have been experimenting with crafting for the last few years and, whilst many crafts didn't really appeal past the first half and hour, knitting stuck. I'm working on some original designs at the moment and will use this blog to get them out to the world. I wonder if anyone will like them? I'm also considering a craft fayre or two. More to follow on that...
