letter to my teapot

Dear Little White Teapot,

You know that you are my favorite--your size and shape are just so perfect. You hold the right amount of tea for a relaxed and unrushed moment. You have been such a faithful friend and I want to be sure to treat you right. With fall here now and winter just around the corner, I thought a sweater would be something you could use. Only the best for you, wool yarn all the way from Siena, Italy--hand delivered by a special friend. I searched the web looking for images and patterns of crocheted cozies sweaters, yet in the end, I decided to go with my own plan. You were so patient as I fitted it to you each step of the way. Not one complaint of having to be still over and over again. I know, I know--you've told me it will be just fine and really, you are very kind--but this sweater does not fit you right. Remember, only the best for you and I can't have you sitting around in a baggy jumper. It would irritate me to no end. So, while this will due in a pinch, I'm off to fashion you another. One that will do you justice--at least in my mind.

Love,
Me.

I love that little sweater! If this is your idea of "not perfect" then I can hardly wait for the new version :)

I love the purple tones with the white tea pot, lucky little tea pot.

Oh, this is so funny! I think we have the same teapot (wedgewood white, yes?) and I am currently in the same process. I am on my fourth attempt at a knitted tea cozy that fits properly. I'll send the pattern your way if I ever get it figured out (if indead that is the teapot I think it is :)

Cheers!

Dear Ms. Teapot.

I think your custom made sweater is perfect. I didn't think it was baggy at all!

If the current one isn't good, I can't wait to see the next one!
