    Missymoo - I've got a couple of tea cosy patterns (of course!!) but they're all paper - happy to photocopy?

    This one I knitted for a friend a while back :D

    Sorry, was just checking the link works, seems to for me at least! :D It's actually much easier than it looks, and very cheery indeed. Would have been better in brighter colours, but that's what I had, and it looks better in real life! Happy to post a copy of the pattern if you PM me your address :)

    Well, I've found myself in the house alone on a Saturday night, for another 4 hours and 15 minutes. Mind map of the evening's activities is already drawn! :D And I'll be setting the timer for fifteen minute intervals :rotfl: Let's see what we can get done, starting.....

    ........ NOW!

    ooooh yes please my lovely, that would be fabulous, love your tea cosy. Might need to scale it down a bit as my teapot is only a dinky one (a lovely MSE'r sent it to me)

    Crikey you have far too much enthusiasm I am also by myself this evening and should most definitely be doing things, but I really can't be bothered..... ahhh I need some get up and go so I can get up and do something, anything would be better than lounging on my sofa under my blankie drinking tea!

    All well hear honeybear thanks!

    Missy, have PMed you back :j There's 3 tea cosy patterns in one - but I can't remember whether all of the instructions are there, the pattern itself is absolutely ancient! But there's definitely enough instructions for at least one tea cosy! :j

    Jealous of your good life stuff! :j Have you really not got a tea cosy??? :eek: You HAVE got a tea pot haven't you?? :eek: <shudders at prospect of not having tea pot> :rotfl: Will have to rectify tea cosy situation forthwith I think! <watch this space - although you might want to do something else in the mean time cos it'll probably take me forever! :rotfl:)
