Can you tell what it is yet?

To quote Rolf Harris lol

Those of you who are of a knitterly disposition might recognise this from the cover of Jane Brocket's Gentle Art of Knitting. I've been after the book for a while now, and managed to get it at a really good price from The Book People; this is the first half of the stripy tea cosy on the cover, beenw anting toknit this for a long time now. I hope to get it finished  tonight if I can.
The World is going to hell in a handcart and I'm knitting a tea cosy.................. ah well, at least my cuppa will be hot. :)  lol
