More colours - Ripple Tea Cosies

Hi all,
Just a quick post to put up a couple of versions of my Easy Ripple Tea Cosy. The pink, purple & green one is a 6 cup the pink one is a 4 cup.
The pink one needed some sort of flower, so I decided on a single white daisy to compliment the little white daisy buttons. The daisy is the same one as in the Flower Garden Tea Cosy but this flower is done with a 5mm hook, 5ch instead of 4ch & using triple treble instead of double trebles.


Thanks for visiting
Jenny

Yarn bombing - better late than never!

Hello there,
I had planned to go yarn bombing in Brisbane last weekend. I was well prepared, had spent hours knitting & crocheting some special bits & pieces to find, (due to recent events) that it was totally impossible for me to get there on the day. Check out the photos of the yarn bombing the girls did at the shop "Yarn Over"  here .
Anyway to the backyard bombing, I've taken photos of my yarn bombing event. Alas it ended up being in my backyard which means it can't really be classed as yarn bombing I guess, as it's not in a public place. I did try to find a tree out the front for my tree sweater, & the letterbox was also an option, but I ended up using a palm tree in the back yard.
My Fox Terrier X held the scissors & hammer for me while I put up the spider web (she's a very intelligent dog & a mighty fine listener I might add). We yarn bombed together, me with my cup of tea, her with her dry dog biscuits. We stood back, looked at our work, & the dog seemed happy with it so I took some photos. Here they are

Unfortunately the sun came over as I took the photos, the colours on the sweater are a bit brighter than they appear here.
And here is my design assistant Hannah who, would you believe, turns 13 later this month
Until next time,
love to all - Jen
