She created a clever design with two rectangles of crochet.
I've just received a teacosy from my clever SIL which has such a simple design.
Hers is made of squares !
First she knitted two large squares - ablue one and a yellow one - then sewed them together leaving room for the handle and the spout.
She decorated the top with several smaller squares in matching colours.
How simple is that ?
Here are a few more of her creations.
Flowers,
chooks,
and the mice and cheese!!
Cheers.
They are absolutely wonderful. I love your your blue and yellow one made with squares.

She is very clever, I hope she has a lot of teapots!

How wonderful! Love the simple squares one though I notice she has made the squares on the diagonal to give it that extra je ne sais quoi and the colours go so well together too.

Hey Helen! You have one sweet SIL, and talented too! I couldn't possibly pick a favorite - they are all special;0)
ReplyDeleteOh my you are lucky Helen!!! Love the simplicity of the square one is made, but how lovely it comes up. Have a bit of fancy for the chook one too, and I'm not generally a chook-decorator lover :-)
ReplyDeleteVery talented lady. I rather like the one with the mice :-)
ReplyDeleteThese are just too dang cute!
ReplyDeleteOMG! I'll have to go out and buy a teapot now! We don't use one!
ReplyDeleteI love the chooks one, but i Love the simplicity of the square one. How easy would that be? Beautiful idea. I love them all.
Kim made a wonderful job of hers, nice little project for a week away!
Thanks Helen for sharing with us.
Have you seen the crocheted car thats going around the blogs?
Love Suex
She's a very clever lady and has done some lovely cosys. Hope you enjoyed the cherries, I'm sure you did!
ReplyDeleteHelen, just caught up and what a surprise! thank you for the mention! Your SIL is very talented - I love the one with the chicks on especially but they are all lovely!!! I will let you into a secret I will reveal on my blog this week - the day after I finished the tea cosy hubby and I were admiring it in all its glory and suddenly the spout fell off!!!!!! hehe! so now I have to find a teapot to match the cosy!!! xxx
ReplyDeleteJust popping by again to say many thanks for your kind comment on my most recent post. Yes it was a hard life for my mother I think and I am only now realising just how difficult it must have been for her - pity it's too late to let her know how much I appreciated her eh?! And yes my childhood was very very different to my daughter's - we have 3 toilets now and all indoors too!!!!
