Apparently, someone had a slow hospicie sort of night last night. I got one call misdirected to me and meant for the pediatric hospice nurse. I don't do peds. Never. Ever.Not wasting any time at all, I cast on with the Moguls using half the stitch count and big fat needles. The border was done in about 10 minutes at which point I switched to US size 6 needles and doubled the stitch count. I love big yarn and this selection really gave me a quick start. I chose a 20 row/20 stitch repeating pattern for the Fair Isle part and finished that this morning.
By Michigan/Perdue game time, I was working on the top and finished right about the time Penn State scored its second goal in Columbus, Ohio. In case they haven't noticed in Ohio, there is a strong possibility of pigs flying. Take cover.And now, thanks to the inspiration found in Color by Kristin, I have a warm covering for my teapot.

I'm knitting (slowly) a beehive hat. It would be perfect for somebody with a beehive-shaped head...(laughing at Anon's comment about the tea cozy)

Speed knitting at its finest. I'm impressed!
Perhaps the hat would fit the perdue chickens Michigan played yesterday Or was it the Boilermakers or Purdue??????

Wow! You're a speed demon! You could find that tea cozy in a dark room. Those colors are so bright! It's beautiful.
