2021 :- JANUARY 24th

Almost a month into the 2021 New Year and January is galloping through at speed.

I am noticing the daylight hours lengthening each day and with that the promise of Spring. I also see a change in my urge for more colour in my weaving. The last Stripey Scarf (No. 6) is much more vibrant, with even a pinky/red warp running through it. That’s not to imply the earlier scarfs were more dull, I love them too, but the seasons and light really do make an impression when choosing what to express.

Yesterday we had our first little flurries of snow this year on Iona. Often winters go by and we do not see snow at all on the island, so when it comes, even to a small extent , there is great excitement. For instance, I immediately went outside with my just finished scarfs and photographed them in the sunshine with a background of snow.

Even the small things create Joy and days to remember !

SPECIAL ORDERS

As I am making Stripey Scarfs at present, I thought I would mention that if anyone would like to commission me for any particular colour combination (up to five colours)in the same style, to please make contact. If you suggest your preferred colours , I can then photograph the merino wool colours I have in stock, send for your approval and then set about making your own unique scarf.

(See on instagram page or in the ‘Shop’ section under ‘Scarfs’ for examples already made.)
