Teacosies galore

⁹
 Six cosies, 18 flutes each, 42 stitches to pick up for each flute  ... yep, total of 4536 stitches.  I need a cup of tea after that!

Bear with me

 I am not going to revisit last Christmas!  Two items failed to work, and they weren't battery problems.  The decorations were put away early. Another hospital trip soon after.

One of my decorations is a little jointed red bear, made by a friend years ago.  I got some thick yarn, found the pattern (a Jean Greenhowe one) and made it a companion.  More fiddly pieces, which had to be made and stuffed separately (firmly) as the magic happens when just a couple of strands of yarn join the separate pieces together.
