(this is Mighty Leaf Tea from Oddchick
it's amazingly good - and comes in a very pretty little organdy tea sachet
very very special stuff!)
... and that I have a blog! What a beautiful 3 day weekend we had up here in the Pacific Northwest. It is actually the 1st Memorial Day in a LONG time (maybe 9 yrs or so) that it's been sunny AND warm .... wow! I took 3 days off from the internet and spent my time in the garden, on walks with my fam, cooking yummy summertime food, and starting a new knitting project.
I go on a very cool website for knitters called Ravelry. I'm a beginner knitter really - but becoming part of a knitting group in town and having the resources available on Ravelry (patterns, tips, and conversation) has given me a great knitting confidence.
For instance I had this yarn, but no project for it. I simply did a pattern search using the yarn for a keyword and found THIS (Ravelry actually led me to the Knitty website for the pattern). And after a 3 day weekend, I'm nearly done with the back.
These wonderful ladies have already had their Tea today:
If you'd like to join in with your cuppa - just leave a comment and we'll drop in with a big "Hello friend!"
a beginning knitter....hmmmm, your top and this lovely piece both look pretty advanced to me! gorgeous two/too!
ReplyDeleteI cannot throw away those little organdy tea bags, I brought some home from our trip west last year, the tea is very tasty as well!
how nice you had a sunny and fun long weekend....wishing you a fun and sunny week ahead Kimmie oxo
Lovely looking pattern, Kimmie and great yarn colour.
ReplyDeleteGreeting you over a cup of Earl Grey here!
Such beautiful yarn - you are accomplished in so many different ways!!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Tuesday! And I'm going to check out the knitting link. Thanks for that!
ReplyDeleteOh, my! If you're a beginning knitter, I'll eat my wide-brimmed hat! Your pattern is scrumptious, and so is the yarn color.
ReplyDeleteAm reading you with a cup of steamy English Breakfast in hand! It's kind of chilly today and feels very autumnal instead of summerlike! Am happy to hear that you had a wonderful Holiday! Hugs, Terri xoxo
Loose leaf Darjeeling here today. Love your new project too. Funny enough I am doing a knit along on Ravelry just now-with organic wool!

Kimmie - you must live close to me! Wasn't it gorgeous?! Glad your weekend was so peaceful and happy.
ReplyDeleteYour knitting looks far from 'beginner' - its very impressive!
ReplyDeleteI'm here with my favourite peppermint tea thinking of you. When I get some pretty new cups (hopefully this weekend) I shall post next Tuesday.
Hugs

I missed tea here, but was thinking of you and having tea at work. I love your knitting :) and the cuppa sounds great! For sure I'll be joining next week and I can't wait to follow some of the links from everyone :)
