Blue Frenzy

I’ve admitted that I’m ill.  Nothing nasty, but enough to keep me quiet and productively knitting for a few days.  I threw caution to the wind and whipped out a tea cozy.  To heck with sombre plans!  That pot needed a sweater.  And I needed to giggle silently in the back of my brain.  I mean, a tea pot cozy?  Silliness.

May the tea remain hot!

Adapted the Jacob’s Ladder cable from “Stitchionary” to be narrower for the mug cozy. The lace rib on the pot is the Cloverleaf  Eyelet  Cable from “Sensational Knitted Socks”.

Winter needs two things: levity and warmth. Mission accomplished.

It was supposed to turn out more stocking cap and less pixie, but Barbara Walker’s Knitting “From the Top Down” merely said that a stocking cap was ‘worked like an endless sock’ and to space the increaces out. No help there, but the point was to make a warm and silly hat and it worked.
