Tea Stands for Tuesday - 11/20/18

It is beginning to feel like winter here.  I've been drinking tea and thumbing through my knitting books for inspiration.







Here is a hat I recently finished.  I am trying to use up some yarn I have left from other projects.  Hats seem the easiest way to use bits and pieces.



There are so many books full of inspiration.  Surely I'll find a suitable project.  If you knit, tell me what you have on the needles.

While I ponder patterns, lets hop on over to Altered Book Lover and see what is happening at the tea party.

  2. Good morning, I love your hat! very pretty
    I don't knit or crochet but I do like to weave-I have a shawl on the loom that I need to finish threading and get it ready to weave
    Happy T wishes and Happy Thanksgiving

  3. Love the hat. Wish I could knit but it just has never worked for me. I do crochet but the knitting (especially shawls and such) produces a much more refined look I think. Happy T day and a happy Thanksgiving too!

  6. The hat that you knitted is amazing - I love it! I don't knit myself but I did treat myself to some handmade knitted mittens from a craft fair recently 😁. Happy knitting and sending you Happy T Day wishes too! J 😊 x

  7. Your hat is adorable. Just perfect for cold weather. I used to both knit and crochet, but I can no longer hold the crochet hook or the knitting needles without my hands going to sleep. However, I will gladly join you for T over tea and peruse those knitting books. Thanks for sharing your tea and knitting projects with us for T this Tuesday, dear Darla.

  9. Wow, your hat is amazing! I love knitting but I have never been courageous enough to try patterns. It looks much too difficult as I am not very good at following pattern charts.Looking forward to seeing what you decide to make.
    Happy Tea Day,
    Kate

  10. I haven't had anything on the needles in ages! But it does sound like a nice warm Winter activity, and with tea. Happy T Day!

  12. Very pretty hat and pretty patterns, Darla. I used to knit and crochet but, for some reason (arthritis), I really can't sit still long enough anymore ;-)

    Happy Thanksgiving and T-day! Eileen xoxo

  13. It sometimes takes longer to pick out what to knit than it is to actually knit it. Love the hat. I love to knit, especially when I am chatting or watching TV. Hope it was a great T day. Hugs-Erika

  14. Yes, I was a knitter. I have knitted from an early age and made my own jumpers and cardigans when I was younger. My 'piece de resistance' was a Stasky and Hutch jacket. I suppose you have to be of a certain age to know what I mean.
    Nowadays I knit socks and I am trying to learn to use the round needles in stead of 4 or 5 little ones, but it wasn't working out with the heel and I put it to one side, where it remains to date. Since then someone told me I should have started at the toe. Well that sounds even more complicated. I'll just have to sit down one day and find clear instruction. I have joined Winwick mums on Facebook and I will ask them but haven't got round to it.
    Happy belated T-Day,
    Lisca
