We've been neglecting our little halo for a couple of weeks... but we're back! First of all, some old ganzie inspiration, retrieved from the darkest depths in need of some good old tlc.

PS. This reminds me, we'll shortly be outing a project we've been keeping quiet for a little while... Another lovely piece of wool history with the Shetland Museum and Archives. Yay oh yay oh yay, can't wait!

This really made me smile. Let's all stop casting off, and just leave the wires in! Good plan?

On a more serious note, the exaggerated chunkiness and depth of colour in this scarf by Frankie Morello is the perfect example of how simple hand-knits can really hold their own. This piece demands attention, without shouting. 

(I'm thinking... heavy but drapey oversize jumper achieved through multiple (three, maybe four) strands of Shetland Supreme Jumper Weight in Shetland Black.)

Hmmm, nice.
