Tea Cosy

Who’d ‘ve thunk I’d ever be writing about fun stuff to knit for Christmas? Certainly not anyone I went to school with. Anyway, I’ve been knitting my nice socks for a while now and I’ve been on the prowl for another, small, but fun, easy and useful project. A pillow case, a tea cosy or, and this is, I think, a good one for Christmas: a cellphone cosy!

I’d never given it much thought before, but obviously, you don’t have to knit only for teapots, there are lots of things that would like to be snugly bundled up somehow and cell phones and laptops and camera’s are such ugly things, in general, that having something soft and, in my case, obviously homemade wrapped around them will make them that much more fun.

So I will be starting on a camera cosy for my mum (shhh don’t tell her, it’s for Sinterklaas!) but I will give you a list of projects I hope to be starting later this month and that might inspire you to do the same! Go on, even if it looks terrible, it’s always fun to get something homemade, right? And the great thing about the mobile phone cosy: everybody’s got a mobile phone!

Cute Ipod sock with cord!

• Mobile phone cosy or here
• Beer cosy
• Ipod cosy that looks like a squid
• Ipod sock (easier! If you’re a beginner, go for this one!) and
• one that looks like the one you buy, with the little pouch for your headphones and
• here’s one (see pic) I particularly like with a cord
• Tea cup cosy
• I also really liked this inhaler cosy, makes it look much nicer!
• and, of course, the good ol’ tea cosy
