I am an avid knitter as well as a Tea Enthusiast. Imagine my pleasant surprise to find a knitting book that celebrated my love for all things “tea”.

Knitting and Tea brings together two hallowed traditions in all their beauty, charm, and poise. The author takes you on a journey from the lush tea plantations of Sri Lanka to the tearooms in the United Kingdom to explore the intertwining history of these two passions.

The luxurious photographs of each location entice you to sit and sample the delectable teatime recipes included and to knit designs that evoke classic elegance. From a stately Cricket Sweater to lovely Tea Cozies, an embellished Cupcake Cardigan, and timeless Argyle Socks, in Knitting and Tea, the author shows you how they can go hand-in-hand anywhere.

If you love to sip a cup of tea while you knit, this book will enthrall you!
