Crafting conversations continue this month as I sit down for another cosy knitting catch‑up from TeaCosyFolk HQ.
I’ve been busy with new tea cosies and chocolate orange designs, and I’m sharing a designer‑style tip for anyone who enjoys adding their own creative touches to cosies and toys. There’s exciting Simply Knitting news, a look ahead to the Eden Wool Gathering, and plenty of behind‑the‑scenes nattering about what’s been happening here at TeaCosyFolk.
Cosmic Cuppa Woman on the Moon Tea Cosy — first seen in Simply Knitting — will be available as a PDF download on the website from the 30th of July. It’s out of this world.
Next month’s Simply Knitting (issue 280, out 6th August) features the Scottish dancing Highland Cow tea cosy knitting pattern — more details coming soon.
If you enjoyed this month’s knitting tip about making Funky Foam templates to gauge proportions and scale, you can find more tips in The Cosy Companion Guidebook and on my knitting tips page
Funky Foam (other brands available) can be found at Hobbycraft.
The Happy New Year Tea Cosy knitting pattern is here — plenty of time to knit your own before New Year’s Eve.
