Novelty Pretty ChristmasTea Cosies and a Snake Scarf

Handmade items from MollysKnitted available on Mollys Knitted Folksy and Etsy.
 A delightfully festive feel to this warm and wonderful tea cosie with it`s red and white and green stripes on a fruitcake brown base.
Another festive crochet cosie.The dangly berries are stuffed with a soft polyester filling 


I love the colours in this scarf,they are based on a real life snake
 Extra long,this chap was quite tricky to photograph





This is one of the prettiest coloured roses tea cosies mollys knitted has made yet.Although i probably should confess i love it partly because all the pastel colours remind me of icecream

Not my best photographed beehive tea cosie.I have sold quite a few of these but the pink background, whilst pretty is just not as effective as the white.My attempt at doing something a bit different with the beehive cosie seems to have stalled sales of them!

Tea Roses Tea Cosie Flower Posy`s...

 
This romantic red roses tea cosie ,available on Etsy was really a delight to photo and so simple!


 

The dark purple was a bit trickier to photograph than all the other tea cosie`s.It is a very rich purple but has a little blue in it which tends to show up disproportionate to how much blue there really is-not much! 

 

 
Probably the prettiest of all these roses tea cosies,the pink and the blue are so sweet...

 


This was the first tea cosie with the bigger more 3d wool flowers on.This one gave me the idea for the pink and blue tea cosie.I love pink roses.This was also when i found out form Molly of The Knitting that these first yellow roses were really an attempt at daffodils...

It`s In Black and White;The Marvels Of Monochrome

The beautiful white blooms on this gorgeous tea cosie are extra large and quite thick,each having three 'petal'layers of wool.They all sit securely sewn on top,sure to keep your tea pot hot!




This pretty little somehow very traditional looking ragdoll is festooned with handcrafted detailing.She has several layers of underskirt and  hand sewn detailing on her wool shoes.Traditional or Victorian?


Active Ann wears dashing upcycled black velvet trousers,perhaps better described as 'pantaloons'


This beautiful little goth girl ragdoll is dressed entirely in black wool.With only the addition of black ribbons.Her waistcoat and skirt are crocheted,which adds a slightly lacy look to her outfit.It all looks a bit "Victorian Mourning Dress"but really she is a goth,she has purple wool lips!


Handsome Black and White Striped Pussycat.If you look closely at his hand sewn in face details you can make out in pink wool his happy,cat that got the cream contented smile!


This lovely ghostly tea cosie is crocheted thickly [stands up unsupported]in a all white wool and the face details are sewn on black velvet.

Blue and Red Tea Cosie`s

This is a very bright red wool tea cosie,chilli red.The flowers are all curled up around the edges as though caught in mid bloom
You would be hard pressed to find a Tea Cosie More blue than this one!Every flower is blue and the Basket itself is more than one shade of blue.
The grey wool used in the flower basket of this Tea Cosie is much softer than most wools.

This dark blue basket tea cosie with light blue flowers has silver thread in amongst the flowers petal layers and along the sides of the baskets handle.It is a deep evocative midnight blue and really gets that "by the light of the silvery moon"song lyric stuck in my head.Which is double annoying as i suspect the rest of the song to be rubbish as i don`t recall any of it,or the singer,or the title...

This dark grey wool is a bit unusual,having whispy bits of white throughout it.Reminds me of a wet rainy wind swept seaside town as you can tell from the title.

Pink and Purple and Green...I Can See A Rainbow...Sing A Rainbow...

 
Coral hand basket and pretty pinks mixed flowers
 
This lovely light lilac`s,violet`s and lavender colour`s flower basket tea cosie is one of the prettiest
Lilac`s,Violet`s and light Purple Colours Tea Cosie
This fleshy pink and coral colour mixed wool tea pot warmer has something of the tropical about it,some of the flowers look a lot like  passionflowers
 
A richl thickly crocheted tea pot warmer,the dark inky purple really brings out the violet mix colour flowers on top.It has a lovely luscious look to it.
Dark Purples Flower Basket Tea Cosie
This light green  tea cosie looks a bit pastel shade but it isn`t quite.It is more solid a light green and the pink mix flowers on top are pastel pinks
Light Green Tea Cosie With Mixed Pinks
This green tea cosie with the bright red poppies on top is a little bit turquoise,you can see it has some blue in it[if you compare the basket to the leaves]just not enough to call it turquoise.There is one large tripled layered poppy on top,which should help keep the heat in whoever`s tea pot it ends up on!
