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!
