Today is #NationalSweaterDay so let's enjoy 'The Fair-Isle Jumper' painted by #Orkney-born artist Stanley Cursiter in 1923.

Stanley Cursiter (1887-1976) was Keeper of the National Galleries of Scotland from 1930-1948 and was appointed the King's Painter and Limner in Scotland.

Anyone else loving the Norwegian team sweater at the Winter Olympics? It's gorgeous! Made from 100% fine Norwegian wool with 100% soft merino lining. Made by Dale of Norway which made the first team sweater in 1956 🧶💕🏔️❄️

I'm not surprised it's sold out! What a wonderful event! If I lived nearer I would have signed up and bought the t-shirt 😂🧶💕

Definitely meant to be!

Oh what a shame you had to buy some La Bien Aimée! 😉 Such gorgeous yarn and what a stunning red 😍

Fingers crossed!

About a foot of chunky hand knitted blanket on a long circular needle. Thick charcoal grey Italian merino yarn. Simple rows of cable on a 14 row repeat. Knitting and attached ball of wool are laying on a pale grey woollen rug with a basket and table leg just visible.

My grey #showmeyourknits is also also a current WIP - the beginnings of a simple cable blanket for my son in Katia Gentile Merino yarn on 8mm needles.
Pattern is 'Comfort' by Kim Hargreaves from an old Rowan magazine (no.34).

A long Facebook message describing ways to regulate your nervous system during difficult times, including the repetitive and predictable rhythm of knitting.

A friend just sent me this wonderful post from Audacious Ewe that popped up on her FB feed.

Take care of yourselves everyone - keep calm and keep knitting 🧶💕

I can't wait to start! I have the yarn next to me and I can't stop looking at it 😂

I wasn't sure this was a real podcast... But it is! My overall happiness and wellbeing have also increased 😀

Oh fab! I can't wait to start it 🧶💕

I've just added the Moonflowers shawl and cowl to Favourites! I could do with editing my queue tbh, as it's too long and hasn't kept pace with my Favourites!

Love the Moonflowers shawl! I must add a mosaic pattern to my Queue 😊

Oh, just saw the photo was of another garden. Still glorious and I'll still visit Cerney! 😍

I think they do like damp. The ones that thrived at my parents' were in shaded borders. But goodness me, what a glorious display at Cerney! I've never seen so many together! I had to look up these gardens and now I have to visit! Thank you so much for sharing.

Yes, I love that it's useful! I bought a few plastic crates last year for yarn storage and now wish I'd made felted baskets!

Oh what a lovely thing to say! I'd love to see what you make if you do! I'm tempted to make another bag, but smaller.

Very meta! 😂 Borderline overkill. I'm nevertheless thinking of making more... Maybe a small round one next 🤔

Thank you! I love the muted tones 🧶💕
