I can procrastinate no longer about the knitted cup covers, which I first mentioned here. OK, I admit it, I had no idea why anyone would want to cover a tin cup with a knitted cover. It's so impractical that I wondered if the intention was to turn the cup into a receptacle for pencils or sock needles, rather than something to drink liquids out of. Or candles? I gather that the concept came from 'Ideas', a South African magazine, so I looked at their website. The only comparable thing I found was candle holders for an outdoor party. The covers were crocheted, but similar. Aha? The tatted flower is Jon's daisy pin.
Very pretty! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is realy a nice cup now, so personally and keeps tea or coffee warm for longer enjoyment!!!Isn't that useful ?!!! Okay not for me, because I alays burn my tounge on coffee, so I HAVE to wait...long with this cup:-))
ReplyDeleteThe pin is what redeems the entire effort - in my very humble opinion! Now the thing looks strange, but lovely and artistic in an offbeat way!

Strange I go with! Yeah the pin is definitely necessary.
DeleteI quite like it. It certainly makes the cup look better, but yes, a bit impractical. Like fox, I think the pin is definitely the stand out feature.
ReplyDeleteI agree, I would love to display my pen collection in it. I would be afraid of tasting fuzz if I were to drink from it though. :o)
ReplyDeleteThat's what Dee's husband said too. And imagine dripping your tea on it, ugh.
