I prefer my stitches to be a bit thick. I also like your knitting projects. Thank you for sharing your crafty things with us. I understand you're from Scotland! I have been in Applecross some years ago and I loved that area. I am gonna be back at the end of the month with my daughter. I think I will need some wool clothing, it seems quite cold over there...

I couldn’t tell you the number of hours of knitting it actually took, Christmas and New Year and family visits certainly intervened. I continue to design my own handknits but am somewhat slowed by a damaged index finger at present. If you would like to see more about my handknits they are scattered throughout previous episodes. My handknits are very much admired but I haven’t yet discovered how to write efficient patterns. Perhaps I should work on this as it would be lovely to share them. 💖
