~Who knew that such a little pattern would have so much interest? Using my teapot one morning, I became a bit annoyed when the tea dripped all over the place when pouring. Natural solution, take some scrap yarn and make a tea spout do-dad. I want to thank everyone who has visited us because they like the do-dad. Your visit is appreciated! Just to update newcomers this was the pattern:
Susan’s Tea Spout Do-Dad
Materials
US 4
Sport weight yarn – you don’t need much, this is perfect for scrap yarn. I used wool, but cotton would work just as well.
Large needle to sew up side
Cast on 14 stitches
Row 1: Knit
Row 2: Purl
Row 3: Knit
Row 4: *knit, purl* repeat across row+
Row 5: *purl-knit* repeat across row+
Row 6: Knit
Row 7: Purl
Row 8: Knit
Cast off leaving a long enough tail to sew up side.
+Rows 4 and 5 are the seed or moss stitch
If you use the pattern PLEASE send pictures. We’d really love to see them! We’d like to see how many countries are represented! 
She went on to say that one of the ladies used hers “when she had a tea-party the next day”. Thank you Bahrain. This bit of joy made my day! Isn’t this a brilliant idea?
A Drop Stop. I actually got a few more ideas for the use of my do-dad from that site. They suggested that it could be used on a wine bottle or for a scrunchie. Great ideas! Why didn’t we think of it? This is their translation of my pattern:Mönstret är på engelska och här kommer en enkel översättning:
14 maskor
Varv 1-3: slätstickning
Varv 4-5: mosstickning
Varv 6-8: slätstickning
Maska av och lämna tillräcligt med tråd för att sy ihop arbetet.
Now every time I use my do-dad I’ll be thinking of the people world-wide who are also using theirs. Again, thank you to all of you who are interested in making my do-dad. And a special thanks to Zillah for sharing her pictures. Remember, PLEASE share with us. Email– curlsandq@gmail.com

What a lovely display!
I always enjoy seeing what creative things people will come up with, I’m always inspired and impressed by creativity. What a creative way to show off the Tea spout do-dad
Looking at the shape, I’m inspired to make something, but it’s not as awesome. I need “sweat bands” or “wristlets” (told you it wasn’t glamorous) for when I’m working outside. I do perspire a lot while gardening or cutting the grass. We live on four acres of land, the majority of it is wooded, but there’s still plenty of yard for me to cut/garden. I think I’ll make mine in cotton or perhaps a cotton/poly blend for the elasticity.
Curls & Q
Great idea! I’m tired just reading the post.
I grew up on an acre and that was enough work! My yard is postage stamp size because of it. 
Using a rib pattern will make the band very elastic. Share when you’re done.
