It is a funny old thing - blogging. Non bloggers seem to think that I blog in a vacuum and they question its purpose.
For me, most days start with the ‘blog read’. OTHER people's blogs. There is a teaming humanity, chattering away out there in blogland, finding their voices in sketching, sculpture, pottery, photography, writing, music, patch work, and even knitting.
I love peeking into others lives and I love that there are some that peek into my (knitterly) life.
This week an email came from Maree who lives in the central tablelands of New South Wales.
She bought a book, broke a leg and started knitting.
Tea cosies! Lots and lots of tea cosies.
Then she sent me these photos, the result of her 3 months recuperation!
How GRAND is that!
It is simple really.
There is no vacuum.
Just people.
Talking to each other.

Loani - how glorious to see your beautiful patterns in creation by someone else! This must have been such a thrill. How gorgeous. :)
Very grand, Loani!
Wow! What a wonderful collection of tea cosies!
Although I might be silent on your blog most of the time, I am watching and enjoying! And it always brings a smile to my face and makes me think that I should be doing more knitting!
OMG! How stunning! Just love these. So expertly knitted!
Agree so much with you about the delights of blogging (active and passive). I have two blogs because I can't seem to separate out my bookaholic tendencies from my knitterholic tendencies. Sometimes I really wish that I'd collapsed all the bits of me into one easy-access blog.
cool ... love a good cosy
I am inspired! I actually have a finished cosy and one on the way but nothing as beautiful as these. The problem for me is a lack of teapots. The only place to buy them locally is health food stores and--wait for it--the British Pavillion at Epcot. They are quite pricey. My mother has made me promise not to buy a 4 or 6 cup pot over the internet or at the health food store so she can give me my very own Brown Betty for my birthday. In the mean time, I make do with a little I-pot and a weird little number I bought in Paris some years back. I'll blog their pictures some time this week.
Bloody awesome!
Oh wow, they are phenomenal!! And you're so right about blogs - it's an ongoing conversation, with piccies!
