Once upon a teapot

Back in January I had a little crochet craze, making a tea cosy for a gift. My own teapot was slightly too small for it, but even so looks quite jolly. The pattern is at crochethealingandraymond.wordpress.com is it's such fun to crochet with different colours, so I started another in a different colour combination (same 4ply, same teapot) which despite changes to the pattern still turned out too big. It languishes in a bag somewhere, awaiting its finishing touches. This belated blog post is a record of intention, should that bag ever turn up...

so what I've always wanted to know -- do tea cozies actually keep the tea much warmer or do they just make you think warmer? (like when I was cold and would make my children put on sweaters)
