Look what I won from Half Baked:
I love the cover; it looks like it belongs on my coffee table. The book is full of stunning photographs, intriguing patterns, AND enticing recipes. I'm not much of a tea drinker, but maybe that is because I don't know how to really DO tea. And if I buy a tea set, I'll have an excuse to knit a tea cosy.
I'm not much of a book buyer, either, relying on the local library system to keep me in reading material. Here are a couple of recent checkouts:
Most books on spinning have at most one chapter on spindling, but this one is just for us whorlmongers.
And my homespun is why I picked up this one:
This book includes a pattern for a neck warmer knit from super bulky, which is just what my early spindling attempts turned out to be.

Oh my--that looks like a dangerous book to own! I already enjoy FAR too many crafts.....
Enjoy!
Lucky you! I love tea. I've given several formal tea parties for friends and now they think that I'm obsessed with it. I can never confess to my coffee habit now. That looks like a really cool book.
Is there a special way to "do" tea? I just heat up some water, toss a bag of Earl Gray in with some milk and sugar, and voila! DONE. :) (Ooh, you should try Harney & Sons Hot Cinnamon Sunset. That's some goooood tea.)
Anyway, lovely book!
What, Lara, no scones or crumpets or even digestive biscuits (whatever they are)? I'm picturing something from "Howard's End".
