Unexpected Knitting

Karen sent me this article on Debbie New, a woman who creates unusual artwork by knitting.

When two of Debbie New's grandchildren visited Upper Canada Village, a park depicting pioneer life just east of Cornwall, Ont., a lady in period costume spinning wool asked them, "Does your grandma knit?"

...Their grandmother knitted teacups, a lace coracle (a small seaworthy boat), a 20-by-12-by-7-foot labyrinth, a 'cellular automaton' shawl and -- the latest project taking up space in Ms. New's dining room in Waterloo, Ont. -- a free-standing grandfather clock, which ticks.

Does anyone know if the pattern for the knitted tea cups was ever published? If so, by who, when????

The pattern for the teacups was published in her book, Unexpected Knitting, on page 120.
