Tea Cups

Tea anyone?

I'm in tea party mode.

Knit a tea cup.

The impetus: Anne Modesitt's

"Fiesta Tea Set" pattern has been 

lurking in the wings just waiting 

for the right moment to tap my shoulder 

and say, "Now!"

So, today I took sunny yellow

Sugar 'n Creme cotton and

made a tea cup.

Now Modesitt used a similar

yarn and a needle size smaller 

than I did.

*I don't own a set of size 2

double pointed needles.

Consequently my cup is a 

half inch larger both in base 

and height.

She bound off with an I-cord

bind-off. Not for me. It is

right up there with playing

classical guitar as far as 

I am concerned...

not one of those skills I

ever plan to acquire.

At the moment my cup

doesn't much resemble

a cup.

But I'm hopeful

with a handle

and blocking 

it might shape up.

I plan to try again

scaling down the numbers

to attain the smaller size cup.

And for now I'm planning

to have a cup of tea.

Care to join me?
