cup o tea, cup o tea...

Giles: My life just flashed before my eyes
Spike: What, cup o tea, cup o tea, almost had a shag, cup o tea?*

Jacqueline, from Serendipity, posted her favourite tea cosies and invited others...so here is my contribution.

I made this as part of my learn to crochet course, and am glad to say it is wool, not acrylic, cleckheaton wool actually, I still have the left-over bits (yep, I did the course about 20 years ago, and yep, I'm a hoarder...). I found it again about 2 years ago, it was packed away with the rest of my teenage "glory box" items. Since I now have a teapot, which by a very pleasing coincidence, perfectly matches my tea cosy both in colour and zig-zag pattern, I use the cosy when I have enough people to use the big pot. I really love this cosy pattern, but I remember it took some time to make, being all double-crochet and with lots of colour changes.
