Each bag is a one off original by Jan.

Tree Cosy

It's not easy to see in this pic, but there's an image of a tree trunk knitted into the side of this cosy - knitted lace has long been popular, but recently there's been a new wave of knitting that's involved creating images using old lace techniques. It takes many hours to make one small piece of fabric, but I really do think the effect is worth it. Subtle, yes, but beautiful. And no, the leaves don't actually hang in front of the spout when you pour. This is a button-up cosy, so it doesn't matter how odd the shape of the spout of your teapot is, you can still get it on.

English Rose Garden

This cosy is, unfortunately, not for sale, but similar versions are available. I really wanted to find a way to make a yellow rose cosy and realised the best way to make the yellow stand out was to surround it with other roses.

This was also the cosy that taught me not to use rib stitches for bases - it doesn't work all that well, makes it sit awkwardly. Life is about learning. I've recently had an obsession with all things blue, so there's a blue version of this cosy on its way - Liv

Lined with red satin skulls and spiders' webs befitting a girl with a fascination for arachnids, this bag fits her A4 sized music, her drink bottle and other essentials. It was designed to co-ordinate with the singer's boots. Her boots and bag are made for rocking. Jan
