The Poppy - my new design.

Fits a 2 cup teapot (up to 14cm high and up to 40cm circumference). My sizing - Small.

Inspired by my visits to the National War Memorials of New Zealand and Australia, and to Gallipoli, The Western Front and the Normandie Beaches. Those that have fallen have beautifully tended resting places. At any given time New Zealanders and Australians are there, or have been there, leaving behind red poppies. It is such a moving sight. Armistice Day is soon on 11 November.

The sides of the cosy are these places. I have knitted three rows of crosses and placed the poppies just so like you see at the abovementioned memorials.

The green wool came into my collection a few years ago from Fabricabrac event. It is the Gallipoli brand of wool that comes from Turkey. I also have black in this brand.

As always my items are knitted with sustainability in mind using unused wool found in Op Shops, de-stash events and donations from kind friends. Looked after carefully they should last a long time.

Please get in touch if you would like a bespoke design/colour or size. I am happy to help.
