Tiny Tea Times Two






Well here they are, in all their sweater wearing glory!




I made the rather silly mistake of making and giving the girls rice krispie treats right before I attempted to take their pictures. 


All was going well until I asked to take one of just Rori, since it was her sweater I had just finished.  Then I got the sad/mad face below.


And then all was well as she threw herself back into the picture in front of her sister.


Pattern: Tiny Tea Leaves
Yarn: Araucania Aysen. It is 70% merino, 20% alpaca, 10% silk

I have some of the yarn left over, and I love it.  I'm not sure what I'll do with it, besides making a few of these i-cord bracelets.  For whatever reason they really please me.  I'm a sucker for Celtic knots.....so I love the button!  The picture is rather terrible, but you all know how hard it is to take a picture of yourself.


Thanks for stopping by, have a great weekend!

    They look gorgeous (and so cute together!)

    Love the bracelet too. Maybe a couple of flowers for the hair will also be a good use of some of the leftovers?

    Loving the bracelet too - is it just one long i-cord wrapped round or is it several circular 'bangles'?

      Hiya. It is just one long i-cord with a loop made at one end and a button at the other. I was experimenting with different lengths, it is pretty fun.

    I love the candid photos of the adorable models and their new sweaters. They seem to really enjoy their new handknits. The bracelet is cool.

    Beautiful sweaters (and girls)! And that I-cord bracelet is really neat. It seems to me like a good way to use up leftovers and show off your love of yarn at the same time.

    You are awesome to have made two of these sweaters, I've been working for about a year on my tea sleeves and it's about 90% done!

      Copy away Beth, I'm sure I saw it somewhere else and that triggered me making it. Blog land is all about sharing!
