Yesterday was a cool and blustery Autumn day, perfect for sipping tea and knitting...which is exactly what I did at my very favorite tearooms...
Teaberry's in Flemington, NJ. I was leading a Teapot Cozy Workshop there for fourteen ladies. Most of the participants were new to knitting, so I did a lot of teaching...cast-on and knit stitch techniques... and they were all suprised how they were able to pick up the rhythm of knitting so easily. We used a TnR adaptation of the classic pleated teapot cozy pattern that many of you may remember seeing on your grandmother's teapot and many of the ladies had purchased TnR's
Teapot Cozy Kit. So after a little bit of cozy (cosy) history, we got to knitting. All the while the gracious and knowledgable staff at Teaberry's was serving perfectly brewed teas, seed cake, sticky pudding cakes and an incredible white chocolate and raspberry trifle. As the sky darkened outside, the warmth of tea and knitting spread inside this lovely tearoom.
I have shared the instructions for your Healing/Meditation Shawl with the members of my women's club and we are taking on the project of making these shawls to be given to those of our members who are ill or hospitalized. What a lovely way to say we hope you feel better!
The shawl is just lovely, cozy and inviting. Thanks for the instructions.
