Actually that's the first place I looked for her and unless I'm missing them, I only saw the one I posted. :)

Dear NC,
Here are also two more which don't have pictures:

My favorite kind of tea cosy is easy to create as you go. I measure the fattest portion of my teapot (around the tummy/middle) and divide that number in half. (Say, 18" around so half is 9.) I then chain to measure 9" and do whatever stitch I want, making a square a little higher as the teapot is tall. I then make another. I sew them together, leaving a low opening for the spout side and a middle opening for the handle side. I now do a mesh stitch around the top (sc, ch 1, sk next st) crocheting in the round. I finish by making a chain which I thread through the mesh, pulling it in a gather, and tie in a bow, or tie and put pompons on the end. I like the pompons because that's how I know which is the handle side when I pop the cosy on top.

I've done several knitted ones this way using Woolease Thick & Quick, too.

Oh I'm not offeneded at all. :)
I did say I might have missed them.
One of those you posted was the one I posted.
Another one, the PDF one, was something else when I looked at it I thought. Plus it doesn't look like much of a cosy just from the picture.
I also didn't see the foxglove one. And I swear I clicked on everything that didn't say can. But if it wasn't working that'd be why I didn't see it. LOL
Anyway no worries. We're all just trying to help each other. :hug
