I don’t often do this, but I’m having a day off in the “normal working week”.
I was dyeing all of Saturday afternoon and evening, in preparation for a fabulous Yarn Party in Glasgow yesterday. It was wonderful. Lots of friendly knitters, awesome German baking (must get the recipe for the Marble Cake), and interesting conversation. We just put the yarn on a table and everyone was able to browse, compare, discuss and consider in their own time. I’ve done three of these Yarn Parties now and they are always fun – I mean Yarn and Cake – what’s not to like?
If you live within driving distance of Edinburgh and would like me to bring the shop to your knitting group, please get in touch.

A wee jaunt.
I decided to get right away from home for the day, and although it was a lot of driving, it was well worth it. This is Loch Lubnaig, near Callander.
As you can see, that really is pretty thick ice on the surface, considering it’s a big expanse of water.
A little bit further North we came to Loch Lubhair.
The sky was getting more blue as we headed west.
This was looking East from a higher vantage point just North of Tyndrum.
You have to imagine the photos side by side to get the full effect.
And this is looking North from the same point.
Glencoe. I used to spend most weekends in the West Highlands, walking and climbing.
Then it was time to head home, and we came back via Loch Lomond.
No ice this time, we were further South and it’s a MUCH bigger loch.
We already have plans for the next Day Off….
