May flowers

I am loving the little rose shawlette.  After blocking it is just big enough to wrap around the shoulders with the pretty filet crochet rose showing at the back.  The leaf and picot border is particularly attractive. All considered, this was a very enjoyable and successful project.
 
 I am keen to make another of the lovely shawls from my Japanese pattern book but have a few small projects to complete first. This tea cosy is inspired by several patterns that I have seen on Ravelry.  The tea pot is an unusual shape so I had to add about 5cm to the height before starting the shaping. The flowers are made from colourful scraps of yarn that I have saved up for just such a project. There will be more flowers, leaves and maybe a lining for the cosy. I got this far in one evening , so it shouldn't take long to finish.
