Today was the second month of "Game Knitting" at String Thing Shop. Hosted by yours truly! :) This one was more of a knit along. And the movie was "Pride and Prejudice" and we had a tea party!
We snacked on yummy tea sandwiches. The Winner of the night was english muffin bread, nutella and a strawberry on top! Oh it was SO good! Not a bad invention if I don't say so myself! We also had THREE different kinds of tea. Chocolate Tea, Tropical Robius tea (the winner of the evening) and Victorian Rose tea! The goody bag had a box of tea and a piece of milk chocolate, the pattern for the fingerless mitts and a recipe for Scones! The recipe was my Dziadzi's (Grandfathers) favorite and I hope that it brings a smiles to everyones have when they make it!(I added it to the bottom here!)
The knit along were really cute fingerless mitts! Super fast! I finished a pair for Bernadette as the credits rolled! She didn't want to take them off so here she is modeling them! Don't her nails look fabulous!!
I had a wonderful time and I am really looking forward to the next movie. As it stands right now I am hoping for August 1 at 4 pm. The movie will be "The Blind Side" and I'm thinking it is going to be a Football party! So come one and all!
Dziadzi’s Favorite Scones
2 c. flour
½ t. salt
3 t. baking powder
¼ c. sugar
¼ t. nutmeg
Mix above ingredients together in large bowl.
Cut up ¼ c. cold butter and add to above mixture. Work in with pastry cutter or two knives until crumbly. Add a good handful of raisins or currants. Stir into crumbs.
Beat 1 egg lightly. Add ½ c. milk. Add to above mixture. Stir together and then dump out of bowl onto floured surface. Knead together until the dough is one large piece. Flatten with hands to about 1” thickness. Cut out with floured biscuit cutter.
Bake at 450° for 10 minutes.
Fun and yum. I wish I had a LYS like yours... I need a knitting home away from home. The scones sound delish... I'll let you know how mine turn out.
