I think this is my favourite of the tea cosies I’ve made for my friends; it’s got a “Roly Poly” base, (pattern from Wild Tea Cosies, by Loani Prior), but the three chickens in a nest on the top are my own variation. I did this one for my friend C because she keeps chooks.
Tea Cosy, specimen 8

That is just about the most adorable thing I've ever seen! I wish I could knit… but it looks REALLY hard!
