Feeling chilly?

I went for a road trip yesterday to M'bah to visit fabric and pattern queen extaordinaire, Julia. While I was there she showed me a few wonders, including this picture from 'The Australian Women's Weekly Best Ever Knitting Book'.

The perfect pressie for the cocky who has everything. Once a year cockies will lose their plumage and it looks like this enterprising lady (who looks like the original Dame Edna Everage character) thought outside the box to keep her pet snug.

If anyone is interested, I have included the pattern below...I am not sure how clear it will download, but you can give it a go.
