February 2022

This photo taken yesterday, sums up the sort of weather we have been having for the last while. Very changeable, gusty winds, fluctuating temperatures……a strong start to the year for sure !

As you can probably tell from my blog writings, the weather has a great effect on me. Here on Iona the weather dominates so much of our daily life, and the light and colours changes so often. It is such a creative and inspiring location to be in. The colours of my most recent woven shawl were suggested by the stormy weather, and even the name of the predominate yarn was ‘storm’ , as I discovered afterwards.

I have been constantly busy through the autumn(fall) but not always weaving. Keeping contact with friends through letters / emails and crocheting more hats ,trying out new ideas (many of which end up as “experience”) researching and learning about other artisans and really trying to learn more computer and social media skills.(I think I would benefit from a hands-on workshop for the latter skills!)

So it is time to get down to some more focussed weaving to build up some stock for the summer months.

Please make contact if you are interested in any shawl or scarf. if it is not in stock at present, it hopefully will be soon.

May we all have a healthy ,creative and abundant year.

With love,

Moya.
