Hello everyone, thank you all for the kind comments and messages I received on my last post. I'm back with some more pictures, the first is something I forgot to mention in the last post, I didn't realise - or forgot that for my christening I wore the same robe as dad! me in my…
hello - yes I'm still here! a month ago or so my Auntie Louise was doing some sorting and organising and she found some things she knew I would like! She gave me a couple of Haps: A hap is a shawl, used in Shetland traditionally for babies and as outerwear back in the day,…
Hello, yes i am still here.. despite the best-laid plans I hardly posted last year. Somehow as I get older my voice is quieter, I don't have much to say sometimes! photo taken in Lerwick on the shortest day 21/12/22 We are beginning to see slightly longer days, thank goodness. I don't think unless you…

Hello and Happy New Year! thank you for the kind comments on my last post, today I thought I'd take a look back over 2016 and some of my knitterly escapades.. This year was definitely a year of designing for me, that begun with my Crofthoose Hat and the announcement that I would be 2016's Shetland Wool…
