Tea Cozy for Odd Shaped Teapot

When you have an unusual shaped teapot, it is easier to use a dome-type tea cozy to cover it.  I have a picture to work with, so it is a little harder to do.  Since I have a teapot like the picture, I have a head's up, unless they make that pot in other sizes.  LOL

I knitted 2-4 rows in various pink art yarns.

---inside---  I crocheted the last 2 rows.

Is it too pink?  It is on the teapot here.

What do you think of my display.  I borrowed my grand-daughter's high chair and toy.  Dawnie

Black and red reversible tea cozy with alternate toppers

I completed this reversible tea cozy this weekend.  It is knitted with a yarn that is mostly wool.  An iridescent fiber is added to the yarn which gives off the sparkle  The edges are trimmed are in crochet.  I like using wool which keeps the teapot warmer than many fibers.  Making a lining also aids the teapot in keeping warm.  If I am going to line the cozy, why not make the lining reversible? There is a pom pom to tie on the top loops on either side, or a jewel to hang.  My sister made the cameo jewel.  I am not much of a jewelry maker.  I love jewelry, but I can't wear it due to allergies.
This yarn happens to be machine washable, but the toppers need to removed.  I always recommend to hand wash handmade items, even if the yarn is machine washable. Do you like the crazy looking tea cozies or the more traditional looking cozies?
