Shetland in summer
August 3, 2013Looking back over photos I've taken recently I found a few to share. Some people have requested more landscape photos as my surroundings differ from theirs. This one shows the Aith Lifeboat and Coastguard helicopter displaying their ability to work together.The downdraft from the rotor blades distur...
Visitors to Shetland
July 25, 2013It is always fascinating to meet people who have travelled to Shetland mostly because they have a passion for knitting and textile related crafts. So far this year I have enjoyed meeting some of these enthusiasts. First I met a group of 24 from Japan when I demonstrated at Shetland Te...
Michaelswood
July 24, 2013Michaelswood in Aith is one of my favourite places to take a walk. The transition from working croft to woodland has taken over 15 years, and a great deal of hard work by my neighbours, Ray, Betty and Alan Ferrie. This woodland is dedicated to their son/brother, Michael. Covering about 12 acres...

Experimenting with Uradale Yarns
May 2, 2013In an earlier blog I wrote about getting some organic Shetland yarn from Uradale Farm. I have been experimenting with using the 5 dyed colours and natural white. First I tried using just the dyed colours. It's always interesting to see how different combinations appear to change the colours. On...
Lambs arriving
May 2, 2013My younger sister now lives on the croft where we grew up. Her lambs are arriving now so I visited to see how she's getting on. At lambing time she is likely to be getting sleep when she can so I don't like to phone in case she is catching some sleep. The weather is not ideal for lambing out doors w...
