Every once in a while , I see my knitting against ‘just the right’ light , and I leap for the camera. Sun rays streaming through the sky window and catching the dangling yarns , reminding me of a glistening web in the morning dewy sun beams. This was one of those moments. I am simply knitting Fair Isle work on still another, and third, pattern prototype mitt, trying to keep the yarns from tangling, while I knit standing up.

That’s lovely. You can see the different colours in the virtual yarns. Beautiful! X
Hi Kelly… aye, Virtual Yarns seem to have sun beams spun into it anyway ! I love your new profile photo of you and your wee bonnie dug…. ‘Cullein’ ?
Yes, I figured the same as the mountains on Skye. You are so special Miss MacLeod, to have such ancestry !
Awwww that’s lovely – thank you! Well, you’ll need to come and visit! I am very proud to be Scottish. I love my country. Consider yourself an honorary Scot! I have stuff here to send out to you. I haven’t forgotten. Was going to do it last week but my aunt in Connecticut’s house burned to the ground so I’ve been busy trying to replace photo’s, get copies of birth certificates etc to help her out.
Cuilean. It’s Scottish Gaelic for little hound. It’s pronounced the same way as the cuillins in the isle of Skye at my ancestral home (dunvegan castle). 🙂
My wee dug is my wean! 😉
Oh that’s horrible about your aunt ! No worries about sending anything Kelly… all in good time. Poor ol’ girl.
Love those little fibers sticking out and saying….let me grasp my sisters and brothers and hold this lot together. 🙂 This is so pretty.
Morrie, you are such a yarn poet !!!!
I looked into Virtual Yarns and they are gorgeous skeins. The sunlight really shows them off, too. Nice photography, caught them in a sunbeam.
Martha, soon I will have this Shetland/Hebridean yarn pattern written, but had a setback, causing me to knit over another size before I write a single word of a pattern. You might be ready for Fair Isle knitting by the time I’m finally ready.
That’s encouraging! lol 🙂 I plan to start the simplest pattern this week. I had a setback too, I forgot an exam due! So I am behind in my knitting, but I’m getting there. I might just order some Virtual Yarns for when I am ready for Fair Isle. That will give me some extra incentive! Plus I love the mitts you are knitting with Virtual Yarns.
School First Martha ! Seems knitting should be, but I guess not.
Well if you can walk and knit, maybe I can learn to read and knit!
OH, that is totally doable ! 🙂
such lovely light, such beautiful colors!
Thank you Sigrun !
Lovely photo! Very inspiring.
Hi Katarina, thank you. 🙂
Beautiful post. Less is definitely more.
Less Is More is my motto.. but somewhere along the way, I’m hoping to have More is More, in the way of a knitting product 🙂 Held back a bit by a setback, going to have to knit over another mitt or two .
Beautiful! I aspire to be the photographer that you are.
That Kay, is *so* nice of you to say !
