I have just posted a little video demonstration (and when I say "little" I mean 14 minutes or so). :) I'm also working on a book, but that won't be out until sometime next year.

I am so in love with the look of the live-loop cables technique. I mentioned them in a group I'm in and they directed me to view your tea pot cozy. I'm just stunned. I hope to find more on this technique and most definitely thank you for sharing your talents.

It kept the tea hot, but wasn't very convenient to use. This one will be much easier.
