woolhour We stopped off in Bishops Castle and had to buy this gorgeous tin. Anyone recognise who designed it. 🤔 #woolhour

woolhour Hi woolhour, I’m having a tea break before I fix an error (only 2 rows down) in some alpaca lace. It’s super fine!

woolhour Also, at this weekend’s event, I will be demonstrating weaving with this lovely alpaca #woolhour

woolhour I’m working on my second Outfoxed mitt! Haven’t had enough knitting time lately, hoping to finish these by the end of the week though! #woolhour

woolhour Ho Jorunn, workers and woolies! Just plodding through the mkal, started the final clue maybe 1 or 2 weeks behind. My first MKAL and Ive realized I quite like a club e.g. Kate Davies essays, but not a fan of not knowing the pattern in advance. Good to try it once tho! #WoolHour

Madeleine Bev Look forward to seeing the whole thing done! Have seen so many gorgeous-looking WIPs on this one, yours included. I personally love an MKAL (well, most of the ones I've tried, anyway, only ever dropped out of one), but I get why it's not everyone's cup of (mystery) tea. #WoolHour

woolhour Cats, I’m up to my armpits in cats! The temperature is still struggling up north in the UK so it’s nice to wrap myself up to the armpits! #WoolHour

woolhour And further to last week's #woolhour I finished my cream shawl and have worn it to bed and it's perfect

woolhour Hi Jorunn- just about to start knitting again for the first time in about a week😳 oh don’t panic- been crocheting!! About five more inches and I can do the neckline and shoulders- which I’ve not get worked out!😳 #woolhour

Good evening, friends, and welcome to #WoolHour ! It's May 1, international workers' day, and definitely spring in my part of the world--Jorunn hosting from Oslo, Norway tonight. What are you up to with wool lately? Please share and show.

Congratulations to Shetland's Jen Stout on this important book launch. We are hoping she'll come home for a visit and launch it here too!🙂

All routes lead to Sumburgh Head!
Shetland boasts some 1,700 miles of coastline. Yesterday afternoon we followed the coastal path, over Compass Head to Sumburgh Head Lighthouse. The walk is steep but the rewards include spectacular views in every direction. #NationalWalkingMonth

Brilliant, annual event

Nice encounter with five of the '27s' #Orca pod off the sunny West Mainland, Shetland this morning. Here's two of them hunting close inshore beneath us off the cliffs at Reawick.
