After our own hearts


An essential accessory for your favorite teapot and the ultimate in homely comfort: tea cozies are a feel-good and fun way to enjoy tea! With many quirky examples to knit and crochet, culled from the pages of Knitting magazine, your teapot can be the talk of the town. The easy projects are accompanied by detailed patterns and instructions for how to create your own delightful cozies, and many of the suggestion can be made with spare bits of yarn lying around the home. Whatever your taste there will be something here to tempt you. From the classic rustic charm of a delightfully striped cozy to contemporary chic with a touch of kitsch (try the woolly sheep!), the world of tea cozies is just waiting to be discovered! [Available via Amazon]

  1. According to Amazon, the same people who ordered this book also ordered a book of instructions on making toilet roll covers. Hilarious!

  3. I do like gifts with a personal touch, but that set of toilet paper covers shaped like the children of Fatima was just a little over the top. (I might be convinced to try the Basilicas of Rome series however.) ;-)
