Finished Fridays:Tea and Toasty

I had been wanting to do this pattern for a while due to the simplicity of it and the name. I am a fan of toast as a food, preferably with tea, which is why I gave it this name. However, though I really wanted to buy some homespun worsted for this project, $30 was a little out of my price range. So I bought a bulky alpaca natural blend that was a little acrylic. Despite my aversion to acrylic, I chose this because the label said it was environmentally friendly and responsible. And I liked the color. It blends with a little black, making it easy to match with a lot of things.
I used a size 9 needle, but my gauge was spot on. The pattern was easy breezy, and I love the results! And guess what I drank when typing this? Tea!
