A good pot of tea is a well-dressed pot of tea!
Wild, wacky and adventurous, tea cosies have undergone a radical makeover. Loani Prior's mind-boggling tea cosy designs will motivate knitters everywhere to create their craziest fantasies and most psychedelic imaginings, all in the name of keeping tea warm.
Each of the 24 sculptural projects (inspired by everything from flowering gardens, geometric shapes and coral reefs to scrumptious food and even chickens!) has simple, straightforward instructions and patterns.
Gorgeous photographs from all angles show the design details and the cosies are knitted and crocheted in easily-accessible eight-ply wool.
Filled with tips and techniques as well as ideas for individualising each creation with glamorous wools, feathers, buttons or any other decoration you take a fancy to.
Perfect for cool young knitters, the hip granny, and everyone in between! With a basic level of knitting or crocheting skill, you can produce exciting works of art to impress and flabbergast your friends, give as great original gifts and ...keep your tea warm!
Author Loani Prior is not just another knitter. She is obsessed with this pastime and intends to die with the largest stash of wool ever known in her cupboard.
Loani lives in subtropical Queensland, Australia
