It has been a busy few days! Forget Status Quo, life just got more interesting!!
I released the first section of the Dark of the Morning KAL – it has been a huge success. Much bigger, with more interest than I ever expected. Here are some stats:
- 192 knitters in the Ravelry Group
- over 400 downloads of the first section of the pattern
- and some people have already finished the first section – Gulp!! I had better get the next chart finished!!
- And I had over 200 blog hits on the release date – Jan 29th
At the same time as all of this – other things were starting to happen in the knitting sphere around us:
- Loani Prior is releasing a new Tea-Cozy book – How Tea-Cosies Changed the World
- I discovered some absolutely gorgeous tea-cozies by a designer I had never seen before. Her name is Jenny Whitehead and her Character Cozies are fabulous!
- Tea-cozies seem to be causing quite a buzz!
- Vogue Knitting on Facebook was looking for some pictures of Tea-Cozies and being the volunteer type – I volunteered a link to my Tea-Cozy page on the blog! LOL!!
- Vogue Knitting very kindly linked me up and created even more hits on the blog, I have made a few new friends and heard lots of wonderful comments about the cozies!
As a result of these two events coinciding I have spent a lot of time playing around on Ravelry and Facebook!
The Retreat Handout is almost done – tomorrow am I should have the bulk of the writing done and just need to add pictures and graphs! It is only a little over a week away – I am getting so excited!
Happy Knitting

Hi Lynette,
I am loving your Dark of the Morning KAL and learning so much.
When did you say the Tea Cozy KAL will be starting? (-:
Change of topic
One good thing about having a new camera or a camera is it gets you out and about walking and stuff . I hope you are taking time away from all this glorious knitting for yourself.
Hi Karen,
I love my Camera and try to take lots of walks with it! I am glad that you are enjoying the KAL! It it a great opportunity to learn and connect with others!
As for a tea-cozy KAL, not on my radar right now, but you never know what the future will bring!

OMG I thought you were the tea cozy queen. That book of Loani Prior’s will be a must have just for the joy of seeing the tea cozies. Are you ordering for the store? When do we start a Tea Cozy KAL? I think your bevy of beauties are the best!!!
Hi Ria,
Thank-you for the support! I am so glad that you like my cozies, but it is fun to see what other crazy ones are out there! I am hoping to get Loani’s new book for the store and maybe even the one before it – we will see!
As for a tea-cozy KAL – who knows what the future will bring!
