Does a tea cosy have to be ironic?

For day 2 of Blogtober, I think I’ll take the opportunity to catch up on a finished object that I forgot to mention before. I’m not going to explain my motivation because frankly, there’s no excuse.

OK maybe I’ll try a little. It started simple, trying to use up my remaining Big Wool, but I was going to run out. So I had to improvise. Aha, I thought, maybe a green leafy cap. One thing led to another and before I knew it, this had happened. I don’t even remember doing this little fella.

Something had control of me that day, and it wasn’t me.

I just taught myself to crochet. Who wants to touch me?

True to form, the first thing I make is a wristwarmer. Question is… do I make a scarf or something to go with them? Lovely as it is to be able to crochet, it was getting a leetle bit tedious towards the end. Not sure if I have the dedication to the craft just yet.
