WIP Wednesday #6 - oops should be #7

After surviving a week with two WIP's I decided it wasn't so bad, so have cast on another, plus when its particularly warm its small enough to cope with.  This time its a tea cosy - red for my re-decorated kitchen.  I'm using King Cole Haze and it is a simple twisted rib on a garter stitch base.


The autumn ten-stitch is coming along, not as much done this week as I had planned but I have been doing other things.



I have re-covered an old sewing box (I should have done a before photo) and made a matching cushion so it does duty as a foot stool too.  I'm very pleased with the box, though I am sporting a couple of blister burns on my finger from the hot glue gun!  I also made a couple of large scatter cushions for the sofa.  The material was a charity shop find for both projects, so the cost was negligible. Result.  Its amazing what you can find around the house that can have the 'make do and mend treatment'

    Looks like quite a lot of progress on the blanket to me! It's looking fab, like the bright red tea cosy too ;)

    I have two ottomans I have been thinking about sewing covers for. But I just don't sew anymore. The other day I saw a knitted slip cover!! Why didn't I think of that? So now, off to find yarn for slip covers.
