"How Tea Cosies Changed the World"
He is made of two berets shapes, each one knitted from the crown out and down and then in and in some more and in some more again and then out a little bit, finished with a rolled lip, turned upside down and folded in on itself to make a double thickness half. The two halves are then stitched together along the crowns, now the base. The rest is all smoke and mirrors and you'll have to BUY THE BOOK to find out all the numbers and tricks that make him sit up so grand.
One thinks this might be a first in tea cosy construction. But then One could be wrong.
Here he is again, the same but different.
A tea cosy and pot stand all in one.
Blimey One is clever.

You have gone to another planet with this one. Truly a post modern take on the teacosy. It's sculpture.

I love your blog. You're a sculptor! Can't wait until your next two books are available on Amazon. I checked them just now: April and May. I'm signed up to be notified.
Too bad you can't charge me for all the therapy you've provided. Keep up the wonderful work.
