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.
