Tea Set

Come in, come in.

The tea pot is on.

Tea is always 

the Irish nod

to hospitality.

Tea denotes:

comfort

compassion

celebration

Yesterday I read

that tea also promotes

healing in ailing

houseplants.

Will wonders never cease?

So, I retrieved an article

on "Interweave." Annie

Modessitt designed  a

"Fiesta Tea Set."

Think children's tea set.

Cups and saucers-

2.25 inches in size- knit

in the round

with a sturdy four ply

cotton in shades of green,

blue, pink and yellow

and complimented with

matching sugar bowl 

and creamer.

Do not be fooled.

Small project... fast result:

Not so.

This project requires time

and patience and a measure

of skill to work with so few stitches

in the round.

But this fool

isn't above seeking paradise:

a tea party with a knitted tea set.

Would ye like a cup of tea?
