Teacosies and rain

It rained all day yesterday, a bit depressing, so I turned on the lights, put the TV on and sat down to finish knitting my tea cosy. Before I felt it I have about 300 ends to sew in from the stripes, plus have to graft the edges, being sure to leave a hole for the spout. I have been wondering if a fringed tea cosy would be nice, you know, a felted fringe. But reason takes over and I am just off to look for my wool sewing needle and scissors and a spare 2 or 3 hours to get those ends sewn in.
