Intersections: Churchmouse Yarn & Teas

August 30, 2014 LauraLeave a comment

If ever there was a store made for me, it is Churchmouse Yarn & Teas. I hope one day to be able to visit the store on scenic Bainbridge Island, just a short ferry ride from Seattle. But for now I’ll just watch, and drool from afar.

Drink Me: Upton Tea, Masala Chai

August 22, 2014 LauraLeave a comment

A few weeks ago, on Ravelry, I was part of an interesting discussion about Masala Chai.   This discuss was primarily about how Americans refer to chai as chai tea.  But the Hindi word for tea is chai, which makes the American version redundant.  The correct name for the spiced tea that we Americans refer to… Continue reading Drink Me: Upton Tea, Masala Chai

On one side is a screened compartment in which you place your favorite loose tea leaves. Pour hot water through the screen and allow it to steep. Once it’s done, simply… Continue reading Teaccessories: Tipping Teacup

Welcome!

Hi! I’m Laura. As a California girl transplanted to the Midwest, I fully embraced spinning and knitting to keep warm. My love of fiber arts has lead me to become a knitting tech editor, host of a weekly video podcast and a knitwear designer. My goal is to produce beautiful fiber projects and help other designers produce well-crafted patterns — free from errors!
