Tea and Knits

    
  Today is a quiet Monday and MLK day.  A day for some reflection, a day for remembrance, a day that also happens to be very cold.  Tea is the drink of choice around here.  All types and variety are appreciated in this house. This tasty beverage is what keeps me going all year round.  Currently the Mr., the oldest kiddo, and I are enjoying pots of hot teas.  I don't know what it is about tea that just makes things a little better, a little more clear. While the temps continue to fall throughout the day, rest assured our insides will be nice and toasty warm.

 

   Last week I had started a knitting project and it turned into a huge fail.  The yarn was not right for the sweater I wanted to make. Sometimes a cardigan needs to have a light, flowy feel. This worsted weight yarn was just not going to do it.  I was trying to force something to work and it was not ment to be.  The yarn I am using is Vintage from Berroco yarns.  It is washable, which I love. My NEW pattern of choice is $5 in Paris by Anna Maliszewsk.  You can find this talented fiber artist (she does more then knit) over HERE.  The pattern is super easy to read. It would be a great beginner pattern for someone looking to try a sweater. 

Enjoy the day, have a moment of quiet, and try to do something creative!
