Well, I finished my tea cozy.  I've been wanting to knit this project ever since I bought the book (probably 2 years ago?).  Anyway, I thought that with my move and the stress, and the lack of time to concentrate on pattern reading, that now would be the perfect time!  It actually took me quite a bit longer than I thought it would.  The chapter says it takes 2-4 hours.  Honestly, I can say it took me closer to 15-20 hours.  Still, I thought it came out quite nice.  My only sorrow is that the tea pot it was made for is still back in Ohio!  Sigh.  I got the pattern out of Last Minute Knitted Gifts.  It's a book that I've knitted several projects out of, and I've enjoyed each one.  My next one to tackle?  Perhaps the double knit baby booties.  We shall see...
