Everything stops for tea, especially on 12th-18th August 2019 when Afternoon Tea Week takes place! This event celebrates places around the UK where you can enjoy the great British tradition of having a cuppa and a tasty nibble, from vintage tea rooms and countryside venues, to city boutiques and five star hotels. As well being an excuse to enjoy some delicious dainties, you can also find inspiration to crochet some fun tea-time projects – here are just 10 of our favourites.
