Traveling tea cozy

So who wants in?

And who will make the tea cozy? I would, but my sewing machine is deader than a door nail.

Brain is sort of mushy -- didn't Donna say something to the effect that she had a cozy that could make the rounds? Or maybe she meant that she had Dianne's design that someone could stitch

Well, Donna has the stitched cozy - don't know if she's sharing it around, though - IIRC - it is on a white ground....

IMHO a "proper" tea cozy should be knitted not sewn

Right on, Bruce. One rarely saw sewn ones when I lived in UK, other than in gift shops. To be honest, though I don't remember buying them, my mother and I always knitted them.

We'll have to embellish it then! But I have "quilted ones" and a knit one so....

I dunno--I have a red plaid one that was my Grandma's that is extremely proper. It even has a tidy little pocket, with a thistle on it (the thistle had faded, so I repainted it a few years back.) It emanates decorum and propriety whenever it makes an appearance.

Knitted? Really?

The pocket is meant to hold a small, matching potholder with which to hold the teapot handle if it is not insulated.

It would be a small potholder, as the pocket is very small. In any event, it has long since disappeared. Would any particular shape be appropriate for such a little holder--it would be fun to make one for it some day.

I have an antique lace one that was made to slip over a padded inner cover.

I also used to crochet a cosy in the shape of an owl. Hugs Shirley

That's an absolutely typical one ! There must be ten million of that style in the UK.

I was part of a group that did an ECA project, a ribbon embroidery tea cosy. Since nobody drinks tea in my family I made mine into a tea tray for my younger daughter. Must look for a pic and put it up on rctnp.

Yes. I have stitched Dianne's tea cozy and am offering it up for traveling.

You didn't misremember.

Are sure you'd want to let us use such a lovely piece?

Another question - who has a website to track the piece with pictures and such

Though I could take this opportunity to force myself to learn a little html

I'm humbled by the premise. That one - although the materials were changed to accommodate wool-on-wool embroidery - actually came from a silk one made circa 1870.

And needlepointed tea cozies have also been quite popular in the past.

I loved the cable knitted cozy.

We could start another Yahoo group to post the pictures and comments. . .
