I was commissioned to design a Catholic Nun style tea cosy in her black habit with a white hood under a black veil.
As added decorative touches, I gave her a crucifix necklace, a bible and a candle, representing the light of Christ.
She's a lovely tea cosy and brings a scene of calm to tea time and makes you feel "the hills are alive, with the sound of music"
How do you solve a problem like cold tea?

I design and knit unique tea cosies. I really love designing exciting and unusual tea cosies, its great fun and people don’t mind having an over the top tea cosy. Plus they are a great talking point at tea time and make for brilliant knitting projects.
I have quite a following with regular customers who regularly buy my latest designs from my website TeaCosyFolk.co.uk
I have had a couple of patterns printed in the Simply Knitting Magazine, which is very exciting.
