Saturday Leftovers!

I have proclaimed that on Saturdays as often as possible, I'm going to try to use up some of the leftovers in my stash. I have miscellaneous balls from years ago, I don't even recall what they are anymore (thank goodness I have a ravelry now to help me keep track of these things) because the ball band disappeared long ago.

So this Saturday's Leftovers project was a tea cozy. I have been wanting to make one for a while, but never found one I liked. I found this beautiful tea cozy pattern so I had little excuse. I also had just enough (literally) of this lovely soft wool i bought at the old Lewiscraft in what I think was 2003 for my first major crochet project (an afghan of crochet squares, crocheted straight across).












The button is also a left over! One of those extra buttons which comes with a new pair of pants. I'm not even sure which pair. I have a mint tin which I keep all the extra buttons in, it's getting quite full so it's good to get some use out of all those buttons!

I scored really amazing baseball tickets for tomorrow so I'm taking my niece and nephew to see the Jays game. Which will be great! I of course will take my knitting. I'm currently working away at a Juno & Regina Stole in a beautiful colourway of handpainted misti alpaca. It's so soft, but a bit warm! I hope it's not too hot tomorrow!

here it is, part way done. I've reached the halfway point. the mid section is taking quite a while.
