The Tea Collection Vol II by Clare Devine

Park strolls and daffodil spotting …

After a long cold winter there is nothing quite like a stroll in the park to refresh the soul and the little lift a sunny bunch of daffodils pushing their way through the grass can bring.

Even if the promise of warmer weather is appearing on the horizon you will still need the warmth of wool for at least a few more weeks. Skip into spring in style with this delightful little knit. Its quick and easy to knit, leaving you more time for spotting cheery daffodils …

Inspired by Good Morning Green tea from Pekoe Tea in Edinburgh.

“An invigorating blend of green tea and flowers, made with sunflower, chrysanthemum and rose petals. Good Morning Green Tea, as its name suggests, makes a refreshing morning drink.”
