I've been practicing plying again, since I'm such a dutiful student. Also, I'm almost out of the black wool and I don't want to run out. So instead of playing with my long draw, I plied.
And then, what to do with those two bobbins of two-ply? Knit, of course. I still don't like the yarn; it's nothing like I'd buy. But it made a dandy tea cozy. Here it is keeping my Mariage Frères' "Bourbon" warm.
If I could count it as a sweater -- hey, it has ribbing and shaping -- instead of a hat, which it also resembles, I'd be a bit closer to my 12/12 goal. And I still have half a bobbin and a skein of this stuff left. Maybe I will make a hat for someone. Without spout and handle openings, though.

Definatly make a hat!! That is a cute cozy....perfect!
p.s. those frame charms were from Walmart....not a bad find. There was only one pack but I plan on going back in hopes more will get ordered!!
CUTE! I think it looks great!
I love it! That's the cutest teapot ever. It looks like a snowball.
Stupid question: how do you get the top off?
or, leave the openings and give it to a child who likes pigtails.
beautiful! you should see my first yarn and try to tell me i was born with spinning talent!
That is adorable! I think the yarn would make a great hat.
It's perfect for that pot. Nice match up. And yes, I definitely think that is a SWEATER.
I'm so glad you're having fun farming the bees. Bees are a good fit with you, all busy and sweet and dedicated and productive.
I think your teapot looks very cosy in his 'sweater'.
Let's see, a sweater surrounds you and keeps you warm. That cozy is surrounding your teapot and keeping it warm. I call it a sweater!
