| my Knitted tea cozy to fit my 6 cup Brown Betty |
Five years ago, my youngest sister, forever named "Knitty Sister", lamented to me that she didnt have a passion in her life, like I did with my quilting. So, of course, I tried to bring her over to the Quilty Side, but to no avail... she was just not interested in quilting. So, I said to her, "Remember, when you were younger( 20 years previous), you used to knit Lopi sweaters?" Oh yes, she replied...so we signed up for a class at a local yarn shop. I tagged along, for support. I had very little interest in knitting at the time...Next thing you know, she is totally inspired and knitting like a crazy person. She is a natural knitting genius. She can knit standing on her head! Meanwhile, poor old me....five years later....many projects...I still cant knit. I find it very difficult. I dont really know why I persist. I must love it!
So....I joined my Knitty Sister's knitting group recently. The tea cozy in the photo is what they were all working on when I joined just before Christmas. I finished mine today. Made with Noro Silk Garden. It's not near perfect but I made it and I love it. I am going to take a quilt to work on next time we meet and maybe I can get a few of them to come over to the Quilty Side!
It looks perfect from here! You must have photographed the " good" side. Ha! Just kidding, it looks great!
ReplyDeleteThat picture at the top of your page is beautiful. Do you live near there? It is nice to have a passion.
ReplyDeleteI think you did a great job on the tea cozy. I wonder how many you can convince to come over to quilting.
ReplyDeleteIt looks great! I'm all thumbs when it comes to knitting, but I keep trying. There may be some hope now that I've switched to bamboo needles, but only time will tell. I bet you will bring a few gals over to the quilty side when they see the lovely quilts you make!
ReplyDeleteI think it looks great on your teapot and just think how nice and hot that tea will now be . Great idea to try to convince a few knitters to come on over to the quilty side ;-)
