I was asked to design a Lawn Bowls tea cosy that looked like a particular lady in her team jacket.
I thought it would be nice if the tea cosy was in action, throwing the ball; so she is bent over with her derriere sticking out, her front is lowered to look as if she were bending down and the ball arm hangs down. It could be the winning shot.
The Lawn Bowls tea cosy is a fun tea cosy and could be knitted in any colour.

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.
