i knitted this tea cosy for my daughter julia to give to her friend caroline. julia saw the pattern in the canadian house and home magazine. great to know that knitting patterns aren't only to be found in knitting magazines!! she chose red for the yarn as we welshies associate this color with our dragon and rugby. i carried the 2 balls of sandnes smart superwash tweed yarn to my home in barry, south wales and knit the cosy there as caroline's grandmother hails from our town too. i bought a wales emblem and sewed it onto the cosy. the gift card will read - handknit in barry, wales.
