Gales and lashing rain today but I’m finally making progress with my knitting project. I bought the wool and pattern for it while on holiday last summer! 😳 I have completed the first section of the repeating pattern, which comprises 56 rows. I recently acquired some extra long needles and am liking them very much #knitting #fairisle #Shetland

South Haven and Sheep Rock on beautiful Fair Isle. This is Scotland's most remote inhabited island, some 25 miles south-west of the southern tip of Mainland Shetland and some 30 miles north-east of the nearest of the Orkney Islands.

It's been a week of finishing off long running projects.

Ravelry tells me this took two years and fifty six days (not continuously, obviously) and last night it went to it's forever home to keep warm someone I care about.

The Jamiesons of Shetland wool was a dream to knit with. I love the colours and I'm really happy with how it turned out.

I finished my last big knitting project in June 2024 (socks are lifesavers). I left on Friday with my swatch drying. I really like the colour combination, which reminds me of the sunset over Penfret Island (Glénan Archipelago, Brittany, France).

Let's go!

My fingers are itching to #knit this morning but I'm needed for videoing my son's climbing skills for GCSE PE so my fingers are busy elsewhere. Busy day today but I might manage a few more rows of my #fairisle tank top, which I've pretty much definitely decided is a sizing dry run for when I can afford nicer yarns.

Now that I've finally conquered my near-20-year fear of Fair Isle, I gotta go ham on some cheesy Christmas stockings for my partner and I.

This is mine in progress!

At long last, I have two fronts, a back and two sleeves. Now all I have to do is knit the neckband and button band, sew in all the loose ends and store it somewhere moth-proof until my mum’s birthday in November! Photo taken outside to show off the colours

Eine neue Podcast-Folge ist online!

Der zweite Tag meines Reiseberichtes von der Schottlandreise 2017.

Ich fahre von Newcastle upon Tyne über Glasgow nach Ardrossan und dann mit der Fähre auf die Insel Arran. Dort beziehe ich mein B&B und gehe abends essen. Anschließend erkunde ich noch ein bisschen die Umgebung von Brodick.

I've finished knitting my Shetland cardigan. I've kept all the scraps of yarn I've sewn. How much do you think it weighs? And if you put them end to end, how many metres would you get?

Hint: a ball of this wool weighs 25 gr or 105 metres.
