My Teapot Mitten

This didn't quite turn out to be such a mindless knitting pattern after all!  I really had to pay attention as the pattern calls for you to increase stitches for the spout gusset whilst creating an opening for the handle AND tab for the buttons.  Therefore, I only worked on it in the quietest of moments here and there.  The buttons were recently cut off of a shirt I discovered in the ironing hamper.  A little white blouse which belonged to The Heiress...when she was around eight years old!  The pewter flowers truly make this teapot perfectly turned out for a garden party.

With the sweltering temperatures we've been experiencing these last couple of weeks the thought of knitting has been less than inspiring.  With plans to knit another cardigan being shelved for now my thoughts turned to an adorable teapot mitten.  Stopping into Romni Wools on one of our trips to Toronto last week I was drawn to this cheery bright pink hue.  When it's finished it will look like this...

I can already picture changing up the colours to suit the season.
