The cosy file- closed November 11, 2007

I finally finished the cosies and sent them off (hooray!). So now that cosy production has officially ceased, I’ve decided to post what the fuss was about

I present Creme Fresh cosies- 2007 teatime range

cupcake (the best seller by far)

fairy cake

lattice tart

teacake

strawberry (the first cosy I designed)

Just for Jane the pineapple (part of the fruitbasket range from 2006)

I am so glad I’m never making another one again… or maybe in a couple of years when I’m recovered. So don’t ask, it ain’t gonna happen!! Not for your mum or anyone!

I might publish a booklet of the patterns when I have some time at my disposal one day

“Are you free Mr Humphries?” 

“I’m freeee!” 

The photo below proves how excellent an actress Ms Lumley really is.  I believe that only she could appear alluring whilst wearing this awfully dodgy jumper. 

And now: a plea for help.  The beanie needed to be unravelled as it was too small for Margy’s head  (she insists i made it too small, i insist she has a fat head).  This being done, i think i may need a different pattern, or, something.  Anyone got a good link for a 55cm head k2 p2 beanie with that yarn i was using?

 I’m just at a bit of a loss.  It’s too hard to convert the pattern i was using.
