The old man’s tea cozy

October 23, 2004 at 9:01 am · Filed under Knitting

This is for the father-in-law, AKA Tricky Dick, AKA Formula One Dick, AKA The Fabricator. He’s a lovable old goat. And he never gets spared the joshing by his two sons. Now that I’m in the family I get to do it too.

This is Plymouth Encore, and the pattern is from Fiber Trends. I made the 4-cup teapot size. It fits my little Fiestaware pot nicely; I hope the same will be true for Tricky Dick’s. But we won’t find out until Christmas!

Tricky Dick and Rodney’s mom are coming to take us away to Wisconsin this morning. I hope the rain clears up a little so we can enjoy the fall colors. There will be antique shopping, and there will be chocolate shopping.

    :-D I did the same one for my part in the tea-cozy KAL. Good job! I like having quick knits like those to do.

    Have a great family weekend!
    I’m busy planning the final package and reveal! I’m not sure I’ll have it done and sent by the 31st though. So, don’t despair if it is not there by then! :)
    have you figured me out yet??

    Good grief you are quick. If I drank any tea, I’d never get done….
