The beekeeper tea cosy looks a bit like a bygone age. She has her smoker, with smoke coming out of the nozzle, and a skep to catch a new swarm of bees. There are eight honeybees buzzing about her. And each bee has a slight fluffiness to it's abdomen.
Her hat is removable and the netting on the front of the hat can either be down or rolled up to reveal her face. Under her hat she has shoulder length curly hair.
It's such a fresh and summery tea cosy. It would look perfect in a beekeepers kitchen of having tea alfresco.
I'll bee there for a hot cup of tea on a moment Honey!

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.
