I'm a little teapot

My teapot may be short and stout but she is really pretty now, I have been wanting to make a tea cosy for ages and I finally decided to delve into the wonder of the "tea cosy". I was worried that they were a bit tricksy and would make the teapot look odd sitting in it's spot, but I am happy to report that it was not only a pleasure to knit but the decorating bit was really fun to do! I actually had to hold myself back a bit so that I didn't turn my teapot into a flowerpot. I have got thousands of ideas from my foray into the cosy and I can't wait to write them all down and add them to my list of things to make. The cosy took me only a few days to make and I think that without all the holdups of general life and kids I probably could have finished it in a day and a half, I knit the basic cosy in one day and spent the rest of the time trying out different leaves and flower designs until I found ones that I was happy with, I still may tweak the flowers a bit to give them a fuller appearance.

I was knitting the leaves when we went fishing: 

And my teapot in all her glory:

A little close up shot, I will tweak the flowers now that I can see them in this picture, they do need to be fuller:

Have a lovely Friday evening
