of course i have bought wool
lovely Aran Tweed from the Aran Islands
Knitting a jumper for Austin
and a hat for chris
there were SO many knitted shops near and on the Aran Islands, i was swimming in blissful, wooly heaven.
One of the main industries on the Aran Islands is knitting and wool production. There is a sweater shop at every corner, all with similar stock. I was honestly breathless with love for the woolliness of it all!
i could have bought everything. it was mostly all expensive, but i did buy a scarf, i'll show you soon.
Austin and I had 3 days away at and near the Islands, cycling around them, visiting the cliffs of Moher (more on that soon), knitting, listening to sessions and drinking cider. It was beautiful.
love


Yum!!! What divine wool for A's jumper. And set off so nicely by the mustard lichen...! Nice work. xx
