Egg cosies

Just before Christmas a friend of mine asked if I would knit her an egg cosy. The interesting thing is where the request came from: having visited her friends for the weekend she was scandalised to discover that they did not possess egg cups for dippy eggs, so purchased them some for Christmas. Whilst on the website she saw egg cosies, and thought how cute! then looked at the price and changed her mind.

Having looked into this I can confirm that a nice-looking egg cosy will cost you between four and ten pounds online. The cynical part of me says that this is the price of modern society, as this one cost me two hours and about 10p in wool. I am considering going into business on etsy.com!
