Unbelievably, I managed to start and finish this strawberry tea pot cosy BEFORE baby's birth. I am now NINE days overdue and amazingly on the prowl for yet another project to keep my mind occupied while I wait for my little man to arrive.

I could understand the baby wanting to wait for his quilt but I have to wonder, what on earth could he want with a strawberry tea cosy? Perhaps he would like to wear it as a hat? And what do you think he'd like me to make next??

This tea cosy was made from a pattern that, sadly, is no longer available online as far as I can tell. I originally got it from magknits.com and it appears that they have taken down the site since I printed this pattern off just two days ago. :-( However, a google search for "strawberry tea cosy" may yield some alternative patterns.


Ah, it's so cheerful and happy-looking. :-) I am glad I happened to catch the pattern before it was gone and had the baby arrived I may never have been able to make this. Silver lining. :-)
