The Sarah Lund Tea Cosy

If you’re looking for that elusive Scandinavian gift for the office Forbrydelsen fan then you’ve still got time to knit a Sarah Lund tea cosy. Cheap and cheerful and nothing says Merry Christmas like the gift of acrylic wool. It takes about 4 hours to knit so you can do it while you’re watching telly.

I can’t read knitting patterns, in fact they may as well be in Danish, so I’ve written out instructions and done a chart in Excel. I’m a very basic knitter so on a scale of 1 to 10 it’s about a 2 difficulty wise.

If you don’t want to tackle that you could always pick up Emma Kennedy’s rather enjoyable Killing Handbook or the guide to Copenhagen, and twiddle your thumbs until series II of Borgen starts on January 5th.

Right, I’m off to knit my Birgitte Nyborg power suit mug cosies.

Advent Calendar 2024

2nd December 2024

As is tradition, today we share all of the other Advent Calendars we are following, some of which could be quite profitable! 1) IKEA 24 Days of Christmas - you need to be following them on Facebook , and then look at their "Spaces" on the app - each video only lasts for 24 hours and tells you about a bargain you can buy in store or online.

Enter a 5-letter code found in emails, on adverts, or wherever you can find them, and you get a deal on a Main for that day and a Breakfast offer for the following morning, eg a £1.99 McMuffin. Check out the details on https://www.mcdonalds.com/gb/en-gb/newsroom/article/gift-drop-for-christmas.html . I'm hoping for a free Festive Pie! 3) For the Maths crowd (I know you're out there) you have a multitude of Mathsy Advent Calendars to choose from. All listed a...
