A Scottish Yarn - Shetland, A Year Later

What a special treat to hear this story on the radio, A Scottish Yarn: A Knit In Time Saves The Fabric Of Shetland Life, while I sit recovering from several days of intense heat. With a huge thunder storm approaching and the radio warning us of the possibility of flooding I heard this story. To say that I enjoyed this story is an understatement! A year ago I was so lucky because I got to go to Scotland's Shetland Islands as well as some of the outer western islands. While the western islands were just gorgeous it was Shetland that really spoke to me. As I listened to this story in total surprise and delight I visualized the places they mentioned, the sheep, the Island of Unst, the lace, the baron hills, as well as watching these amazing women knit and spin what I feel is the most wonderful wool on Earth. Here's a link to the story: http://news.mpbn.net/post/scottish-yarn-knit-time-saves-fabric-shetland-life Hopefully the audio will be available to listen to as hearing the lovely Shetland dialect is just wonderful. I hope you enjoy! I sure did! Mary
