Time is so ahead of me these days with Jaida growing older and gaining more understanding of the world around her. We are getting more attached to each other and I find it a little harder to focus on my work as I barely find any time for myself these days. Teething, curiosity to discovering new places, and the never ending loop of being a fussy eater are the highlights of the current phase. And I love every bit of it!

So, I managed to finish the above couple of jar and glass bottle cozies, and they all follow the same pattern. I bought the glass bottles from Ikea, and the glass jars are common jam jars, this one is Bonne Maman’s.

I played a little with colour this time, experimenting with fabric paint. So I crocheted the cozies with white thread as above, then dipped them in paint. I was hoping that I would get more or less a shaded sequence of the colour I used, instead, the colour kept rising up till it filled almost all of my cozy. Although this wasn’t the outcome I was imagining, I still liked the end result.

Okay, let’s have a look below at the crochet pattern of the cozy and flowers.
