Tea Cozies!

I never thought about making a cover for the tea pot before but Noro had this crazy looking one in their Knitting Accessories book and I just fell in love with it. I found a pattern online for an easier one to start using Kureyon from Noro.It worked up really fast too.  WHAT FUN!!! I am hooked and having a blast making them. Since then I have found the book, "Really Wild Tea Cozies" by Loanie Prior. I am anxiously awaiting its arrival. She uses Noro for some of her cozies and I am excited to try out her patterns. In the mean time this one should be a good challenge! I'll let you know how it goes.

Yarn Tasting Event!

Special event--Tuesday November 13, 5:30-8:00pm

 

You are invited to attend a Yarn Tasting at Anita's Homespun Treasures. How can I taste yarn, you ask?? Well I have selected some of our newest and hottest yarns, put them on needles, hooks, or looms. You will have the chance to stop by and try out "taste" what these yarns feel like and see how they work up. I have different samples for each of the yarns so you can see an actual project...hats, scarfs, ruffled scarves, mittens, purses, and more!This event is very informal & it is free. Come any time from 5:30-8:00pm. Sweet goodies and beverages will be provided. As an extra bonus I am giving you $2.00 off on each skein of the featured yarns you purchase!! Wow...what a great time to stock up on new yarns and Ideas.
