~My teapots need to be cozy! Winter will be here soon and they will be cold. The problem is – deciding which cozy to knit or crochet! Too Many Too Decide – TMTD. These are the contenders:
Mistake Rib Tea Cosy by Frankie Brown
Aunt Jane Tea Cozy by Charlotte Kirkholt
Scallop Tea Cosy by Crochetroo
Rosebuds Tea Cosy by Jenny Stacey
Then in the latest Noro magazine the craziest cosy, Coral Punk, was featured designed by Loani Prior. That lead me on a wild roller-coaster ride looking at her crazy tea cosys. After browsing her site, Grand Purl Baa, I had to buy the Kindle edition of Really Wild Tea Cosies.
All of this surfing for the perfect tea cosy still hasn’t brought me any closer to choosing which one to make. I actually have 6 teapots, so I could make six! Do any of you have a favorite tea cosy pattern to add to my list?
Curls and Q 
Q, you’ve anticipated me! I’m making you a tea cozy as your pay-it-forward project. Send me a note at caitlin.doran at gmail dot com with your contact info and I’ll know where to send it when I’m done. 🙂

Thank you! It is exciting! What’s so fun is that there were tons more that I loved, but it would be too much to post all of them!

A journal of creativity! What a marveous title–where did the lamb go to, tho? Our quilting group in AAUW quilted some lovely tea toppers–I just never got around to quiltingone–but I loved the funny tea cozies you showed!

What lovely designs! I’m not much of a tea cozy person, so I wouldn’t ever use them, but I can appreciate beautiful designs. The last one is my favorite.

Q – Thank you! Surf Laoni’s blog and links if you want to see some crazy ones. They’ve taken it to a “modern art” form.

Thanks! My poor teapots are sitting “naked” to the elements! I’m not even polite enough to wrap in a towel. 😎
