Greenhouse Tea Cosy

Do you love to potter int he greenhouse? Now you can potter with your teapot if you knit this fabulous tea cosy that looks like an old fashiopned glasshouse.

The main part of the tea cosy forms the actual greenhouse. The structural parts of the greenhouse are white and the 'glass' is silver.

To add humour and interest I have knitted an oversized ripe tomato growing out from the roof window. Wouldn't we all love to wake up to a giant prize willing tomato?

Also outside the greenhouse is a watering can, a few buttercups and a sunflower in a plant pot. They add interest from all views and they are things that tend to be found hanging around the greenhouse.

We're all more nature aware these days and I thought it would be lovely to add a little bit of wildlife to the tea cosy, so I made a little hedgehog. He's hiding around the side and he's looking for tasty slugs.
