More completed! ... I'm on a roll


So this is another cosy I sent over to #2 sons share house. 
I started off with Loani Priors 'Wild Tea Cosies' 'cactus delight' base with full intention of actually following a pattern to completion.
But got bored (obviously dont have a good supply of the concentration genes) so switched to 'carmen miranda' top ... but ran out of omph (again) ... so added some great felted balls which I threaded onto some of hubby's fishing trace. (This was not easy and involved a lot of blood soaked bandaids).

I'm not good at following patterns .... but I love looking at pictures!!  and I want it all at the one time!

Completed some ... started others

So this is my 'cubism chook' tea cosy that I knitted for #2 sons tea drinking house mate. Didn't start out looking anything like this. And this is not how I intended it to turn out like. But its a tea cosy and its big and it will cover any size tea pot that comes along. Anyway it will probably end up as a beanie or covering some special piece of band equipment so thats ok too.
At least its finished!!    along with long boring very tight guitar strap!
