April 02, 2019 Shetland Wool Week 2018
A round up of my Shetland Wool Week 2018 including my exciting new knitting class.
August 28, 2017 The Judges Decision is Final.
Every year there are Agricultural Shows held around Shetland. There are locally area based shows in Voe, Walls, Unst, Yell. The only show that anyone resident anywhere in Shetland can enter is the Cunningsburgh Show. Every show has displays and competitions for animals, poultry, baking, crafts and hosiery (knitting). This year I was honoured to be asked to judge the knitwear section in the Cunningsburgh Show.
July 20, 2017 Starting at the beginning
I really haven’t known where to start with writing this blog then it occurred to me that it’s always best to start at the beginning! And that starts long before I was born, in the island of Unst, the northernmost island in Shetland and home for generations of my mother’s family.
