cozy

Benita is dying and selling yarn. Insert link here And sent me a bag of odds and ends of her naturally dyed Shetland to make her a tea cozy. My first finished object of 2011 is a Faire Isle
reversible cozy. The Indigo was a great base color, the yarns were fabulous to work with, and I really had more fun than ought to be legal. Here's the side with copper and tan and greens and orange.



And here's the side with shades of cochineal and something that makes a lovely shades of purple. And a scrap of green left over from the other side. Isn't it fun how different colors make that one band of pattern look different?

I had fun finding buttons for the top, too, and got lost in my button stash for a while, looking for just the right ones.

It went out in the mail today, Benita. Keep an eye open for it.


Last, but certainly not least, here is Ben working on his own cozy. He does not appreciate the papparazzi intruding on it.


So on the first work day of the new year, I hopes you all has a cozy to go home to.
