I had seen an item about Loani Priors exhibition in Brisbane last year, and her workshops, but she was not in Melbourne. But last week saw a notice of an exhibition at Royal Historical Society of Victoria so popped in. Cnr of A'Beckett St opposite Flagstaff Gardens
What a treat!
Loani Priors says.
“I knit from home, in my comfortable knitting chair, dreaming up little woolly objets d’art to adorn the humble teapot. Tea Cosies. I knit them, pattern them and give them a funny name. When I am done, they are photographed like haute couture and published in a book.”

| The front one is "that Hat!" The back is "all form and no function" |
Some of the fun of the exhibits was the names.
 |
| Russian Caravan |
 |
| Carmen Miranda |
 |
| Beatrice (princess B's wedding hat) |
 |
On the back shelf next to the daffodil is a plain white teapot.
The title is "The Emperor's New Clothes" |
Decided to try one
Picture pending!
