Knitty Sister to the Rescue!!

Daffodil Stitch Tea Cozy
The final score....Linda 1 - Tea Cozy 0

 I defeated the Tea Cozy!  I won!   Took me three whole years, but I hung in there, didn't give up, took a lot of ridicule, experienced sabotage, cried, cursed, and then last week I asked my Knitty Sister to  help me finish the darn thing!! I had finally succeeded in completing one side and figured I would never get the other side finished so that is why I asked for help.  Last resort!  Oh well, it is finally a completed project and no longer taking up valuable space that can be used for other UFOs.  I do love it .  So much!

I intended to make this tea cozy as a gift for my Quilty Sister.  But I am keeping it for myself, after all that Tea Cozy and I  have been through. 

The pattern is from Madame Weigel's Cushions and Cozies Volume 6 from 1937   I found it on Ravelry. 
The yarn I used is Lanett Superwash
Guess I should just stick with scarves and dishcloths.  Anything with shape and I just dont get it.  The family calls me "Bumbleknit"!

I am linking up for WIP Wednesday with Monika at The Needle and Thread Network.  Stop by to see what everyone is working on or has finished up.  Lots of talent and inspiration.
