Crochet crash course – Sat 9 March
Monday, March 4th, 2013President Michael “T” Higgins Tea Cosy
Tuesday, February 5th, 2013
Michael "T" Higgins knitted tea cosy
This little guy was designed and made by Veronica Costello who very kindly lent it to us for the duration of our Tea Cosy Competition. Veronica gave one to the President and apparently he loves it!
You could visit him and, at the same time, come and view the over 60 tea / caffetiere / mug cosies which were entered. They were knitted, crocheted, felted, sewn and the imagination and craftsmanship exhibited is astounding! We would love it if you would vote for your favourite – we have voting cards here in the shop. All the proceeds of the competition go to St Brigid’s NS.

Tuesday Felt Class – make a teacosy!
Wednesday, January 9th, 2013
Hand Felted Teacosy
Niki will be showing students how to make felted tea cosies next Tuesday (15 January 2013) morning and evening. Tea cosies are, in my opinion, so beautiful and practical. You can bring along any decorations you’d like to add, for example buttons, beads, ribbon or any little thing that is precious to you.
Another great reason for making tea cosies is to support The Constant Knitter Tea Cosy Competition! The proceeds of the competition will go St Bridgid’s Primary School in Dublin 8. (Actually the tea cosies can be made however you like – knit, crochet, felt, sew, quilt – in fact whatever you want to do is ok with us). And for the coffee drinkers, caffetiere cosies are also welcome.
Details of the competition and entry forms can be downloaded from www.theconstantknitter.ie – just get the cosies to us by 31 January. They will go on display here in early February and there will be prizes!
Cost for the class, including materials, is E30. Please bring a big towel and bubble wrap if you have it.
To enrol, please contact Rosemary on 087 996 7197 or info@theconstantknitter.ie
