I have tears in my eyes from laughing with you along your tea cosy journey and then I get to the picture to see what looks like a very cute pink beanie for a teapot (*i liked that description Ann, hope you dont mind me borrowing it). Now, Maybe if I find the half a teddy bear I managed to knit (and muddle cause i somehow missed reading a paragraph of the instructions somewhere in the middle of the bear lol) THEN you can see how much nicer your knitting really is and that you should take more pride in your achievement (oh and I have heard in person how fantastic your dishcloths are and how a certain person is in No Way letting her children have her pretty new "knitted by Lightening" dishcloth!) So SMILE WOMAN - YOU DID GOOD!!!! Lightening if there was ever a page that i needed to read to be cheered up, then that page is your blog page.

I know, you thought it was a disaster. The picture couldn't be further from a disaster - it's beautiful! Kudos to you for jumping in and participating, I know Cate will smile everytime she uses it, and will have a great story to tell as well. First tea cosy with it's own history! Meri Lightening,

So I know exactly where you're coming from. I can also understand your concerns and your perfectionist tendancy. However I must congratulate you on you decision to go ahead anyway!! I think it looks good and your knitting is neat and even, so oooohhh aaahhh, well done!!! Love the way you wrote about your adventure too!!

At worst, you can knit a few dangly bits and stitch them to either side and tell her it's really a beany for some hip young bogan to wear with his hoodie! :) Cheers! Aw, don’t be too concerned!
