Thanks everybody for your comments recently.
I love red, and have used a lot of it recently as I bought a cone of it from Jamieson & Smith a few years ago. The 4 corners crescent has used up the last of it – this pattern will be a test knit at some stage, as there are some issues to be sorted out.
The scarf in the last post is called Atlas and will be published soon, I’m going to do another swatch of it in a different colourway first.
Mini will do anything when she hears any of the following: “special treat for Mini”, “special for Mini”, or simply “spesh”.
Recently I was delighted to meet a group of American knitters travelling in Ireland with Amy Detjen – I worked with Amy on a Knitcircus pattern a few years ago. Here’s a collage from the day (click the image for a bigger version of the image):
Some new naturally dyed lambswool crewel yarn from Renaissance dyeing in France:
Wish I’d been there. One day…
The yard is so beautiful. Thank you for posting. Your workshop with the visitors looks very extensive. They were very lucky to be there. I’ll bet it was one of their high points of their knitting travels. Finally, I hope to someday make both your new Four Corners and your Atlas. 2 beautiful patterns.
Oops, should say yarn/not yard. Can’t edit these posts apparently!
Kieran, I hope you do not mind, but I featured you on my Blog today:

As an artist and fiber artist, I am so awed by your work that I wanted to honor you and your beautiful work.
Thanks so much,
Connie
Thank you!
So fascinating to see all those beautiful fabrics and colours.
Looking forward tor Atlas, and would love to join test-knitting of the 4 corners crescent.
Very happy to be introduced to Renaissance Dyeing, have for several years tried to find something like that in Europe.
Thank you.
That looks like such a wonderful, enriching day. The array of colours in the yarns is something, but you seem to have created three times as many colours in your designs. And good for Mini to be such a good sport – I will see if I can train my 16-year-old daughter to respond to “spesh”! (Like Mini, my daughter is actually very adorable, good and helpful.)
