nubly teapot

So I've been wanting a teapot for a while because drinking tea from a pot seems like it would taste better. Or look better. Or at least be more fun. So I was at the Salvation Army store the other day and I thought I'd look for a teapot but they only had a few and most of them were part of a set with a little sugar bowl milk container thing shaped like a cow or they were huge and romantic notions of tea drinking aside I can't drink a big pot of tea and if I did bad things would happen like run on sentences that were entire paragraphs long. Anyway, I found this ugly little pot that seemed like the right size and even though its kind of nubly and chipped and the lid slides off whenever you poor the tea I decided to give it a try. Perhaps after seeing me through finals grading and crazy rush of Christmas knitting projects I will develop an affection for my ugly teapot.

So it turns out that according to spell check nubly isn't actually a word. All in favor of adding it?

I am definitely in favor of adding nubly to the dictionary. Now I think you should start a tea cozy to go with your new, nubly teapot!

Yes what a great idea! I have some brown feltable wool left over from an old project that I bet I could use. Maybe I could do a couple rows of some boucle to make it nubly.
