Tante's Teapot Cosy

Well, I worked almost until the moment it was time to bring my husband to the airport, but Tante Pietje's teapot cosy is finished!



Little Miss Cosy spent the night jetting to Frankfurt, then hopped on a train to Holland this afternoon. Before too long she will hopefully be adorning Tante's teapot. I could not send my teapot along for the ride so I am hoping that Tante has a teapot of similar size.  If not, my husband will have to take Little Miss Cosy shopping with him in search of a pot of her own to keep warm.

Of course before leaving  Miss Cosy had to have a photo session. 

Enjoying the sunshine

Just time enough for a cup before her trans-Atlantic trip begins.

I bought these teacups and saucers at a yard sale.  

I love their shape and the flower detail.

Bon voyage Miss Cosy!

Trying something new

 Amidst the projects which I am already trying to finish, I found myself compelled to try something new.  I am using some of the same yarn that I am using for my granny squares.  I love these blues and greens together.



It looks funky in the middle because there is a hole.

Any idea what it is yet? 

 Here's a big hint...

 A teapot cozy!  I am trying to follow a pattern from the lovely blog Crochet with Raymond.  My teapot is shaped a bit differently so I must make adjustments.  My goal  is to figure this out on my teapot, then purchase another teapot and make it a cozy for my husband to bring to his aunt in Holland next week.  Wish me luck!
