cozy crochet.

Kate
My farmer boy is a bit obsessed with cozies.

While we were away on our caravan adventure, everything had it's own cozy. There was the spare wheel cozy, the esky cozy, the IMac had a cozy made out of my childhood sleeping bag and there were various other cozies and plans for cozies along the way.
After we got home and we became a TV only on the weekends family, he ordered a cozy for that too. Why should a big black ugly box take pride of place in the lounge room when it serves no purpose for five days out of every seven?
So I set to work making a big, colourful pile of granny squares.

I sewed in the ends and sewed them together.
I wondered when it comes down to it, which part actually takes longer: the crocheting or the darning?
 And then I pinned the finished granny blanket onto a grey blanket from the stash.
Sewed the grannies in place.
And TA-DAAAAAAAA!!!!
A television cozy.

It's so much prettier now.
Don't you think?

And life is so much better without the television.
We are so much more creative. 
We are reading and playing and listening to music more.
We are choosing carefully what we watch on the weekends.
We don't watch any ads anymore.
Our best friends are people not characters.
And we are achieving so much more.

I highly recommend it.
I highly recommend crochet too. I love it.

What are you making?
Are you crazy for cozies?

Ciao! xx
