First came the Barn fantasy, which you may remember, and which shares some similarities with the Shear Spirit fantasy. I haven’t spoken much about the Buy a Traditional Mill and Make Yarn fantasy, but would it surprise you to know I have such leanings? I’m guessing not.
Here the Mill fantasy combines nicely with my Move to Scotland Because it Snows More fantasy.

Thanks, Judy!
Brother Amos - Knit with the saints or fry with the sinners, your feet will look great either way. Inspired by the fiery preacher in the British modern classic novel, Cold Comfort Farm, by Stella Gibbons, Brother Amos' socks feature a lace stitch pattern reminiscent of the flickering flames of hell where, according to Brother Amos, we're all doomed to "fritter and fry" for eternity.
Mrs Beeton - A free pattern, first published in Knitty.com, Mrs Beeton wrist warmers are the essence of romance, with soft ruffles that look wonderful peeking out from under a jacket sleeve, and beads that catch the light and sparkle at your wrists.
Driving Miss Daisy - Wrist-length fingerless driving gloves feature a daisy lace stitch pattern on the back of the hand, a thumb gusset for comfort, and a garter stitch wristband with single button closure for a snug and sassy fit.
Yeah. What a cool place.
It probably won’t surprise you that I’ve had a similar fantasy..although in Scotland is a new twist on mine, No pun intended.
(step back form the edge!!)
Thanks for posting the video.
That’s right up there with knitting something for all of my 150 or so clients. It’s just…. about…. do able……

Hi – This certainly looks like a wonderfull place. I hope they will manage to keep it going. However, I would like to know what yarn they are producing (they do spin right?) ? – I’m looking for a fine but strong single-spun wool suitable for weaving fabric prehistoric clothing…..
– it’s also a great website you have created. Well done.
Thank you for sharing the video. Though I’ve never been to Scotland, it felt like home.
