Reading The Tea

Inspired by a book “Learn to Knit” by Barbara Walker at Auntie’s apartment, Bronwen and I decided to make 2007 the year of “Operation Afghan.” We are going to knit all 63 squares through the progressively harder techniques, create a lovely blanket in the end and achieve the standing of master knitter. Last Saturday Auntie, Bronwen and I brunched at Penelope’s (Great brunch, but be prepared — they get up earlier in that neighborhood — we were there at 10:30 and still had a wait.) then went yarn shopping at School Products for some lovely Brown Sheep Lamb’s Pride yarn. It’s 85% wool, 15% Mohair. After much (much) debate, my yarns are Medieval Red (purpley-garnet), Red Baron (nice red), Autumn Harvest (nice gold) and another and lovely rust orange color (will edit with proper name). I’ll be putting them together in the end with a lovely coffee-with-milk brown (will also edit with proper name).
