On Tuesday, Elise and I planned to meet at the local shops, so I could hand over her teapot and cosy. On Tuesday morning, 5am, I was lying in bed, partly awake and I started to worry. That's a lie. I was awake at 5 in the morning, I was already worrying. But I started to worry, specifically, about Elise's tea pot. Yes, I've knit a cosy, but her pot is glass, and it's going to loose a lot of heat through the bottom. It needs a coaster. So I crocheted a coaster, with the left over yarn.
I didn't block it, I didn't have time. I haven't seen Elise for a month or so, and in the current, increasing lock down I won't be seeing her again for a while yet, so I wanted to hand it over.
It was such a pleasure to see her (masked) face and to give her something I made with my own hand. Sending my love into the word in the form of crafting is my superpower.
