The weaving has been really busy, I have been working up in the shed until 11pm some nights to keep on top of the tweeds, but its all good!! I have not had as much time to get out in the hills as I would have liked during the last few months, being in the local mountain rescue team (Hebrides Search and Rescue) does get me out when we are training or on a 'shout' but it has been a quiet few months so I am hoping to get out a bit more in the next few months.
I am off to the mainland to get some new walking boots shortly, and taking a bit of a detour to have a look at the Uists, the south islands of the western isles as I have only been to them for specific things, so I am planning on having a really good look around, as they are quite different to Lewis and Harris.
Then its off to the Isle of Skye, using the Lochmaddy ferry and taking the scenic route up the side of loch Ness to Inverness.
I will let you know if I catch sight of the elusive Loch Ness Monster Nessie!!
We had family up to visit at the end of August, and whilst doing the tourist things around the Island (I only get to do them when showing family round) I found this book in the Calanais visitors centre, Knit your own Scotland! I am planning on making my own Nessie from it, and keep an eye out for my Tunnocks Tea Cake inspired Cushion I am planning. (If you have never had a Tunnocks Tea Cake you are missing out!!)
