It has some interesting background details. http://needleprint.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/stitching-in-austerity-horrors.htmlJudithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01284457201328888459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-32110117177088158792013-05-03T11:53:48.986+01:002013-05-03T11:53:48.986+01:00Sorry to have misled you yesterday.

While in Shetland someone told us that it was possible to be delayed for several days waiting for the fog to clear so that the plane could land. <br />After our week in Shetland we flew on to Orkney and it was on that leg of the journey that we flew over Fair Isle. The ferries over to Yell and Unst were fun too.shandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17372329387935318023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-7530980700862808412013-05-03T11:42:07.434+01:002013-05-03T11:42:07.434+01:00I have a skein of Titus in each of the three undye...I have a skein of Titus in each of the three undyed 'colours' here, and no idea what to knit with it. It is absolutely delicious stuff and feels almost too special to use. But I'm thinking maybe a small graduated Pi shawl. We shall see.<br /><br />I'm on the opposite of the plane to you, so no glimpses of the fair isle through the clouds for me.Annie Cholewahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17608057589525908147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-7631458878865099912013-05-03T09:49:04.574+01:002013-05-03T09:49:04.574+01:00If you Google "Shetland Arts and Crafts"...If you Google "Shetland Arts and Crafts" there is a site by that name which has a craft trail you can follow - one of the categories is knitting and textiles but there are others as well. Might it offer some ideas? But perhaps you already know about it?<br />Kate's Catkin is a very sensible sort of pattern . If I knitted other people's patterns I would be tempted by that one. <br />catdownunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06959328192182156574noreply@blogger.com
