Travels with my knitting

Yesterday we explored the coast between Bamburgh and Berwick

Via the Holy Island of Lindisfarne

We'd got across the causeway to the Island so early that the Castle wasn't open to the public, so we played along the shore where the sea reminded me that I must knit something in Old Shale again!

The island was so peaceful and so cold! The natives were prepared for this

but Matt was only wearing 5 layers and turning blue so we carried on up the coast to Berwick and then inland for a long drive around the Borders crossing backwards and forwards between Scotland and England.

You'd have thought I had plenty of time to knit - I managed 17 rows of 3 sts - I was far too busy playing spot the lambs!

What an amazing image of feather and fan - which, strangely enough, I am knitting at the moment. Glad you are having a good time. Keep warm

The coldest I ever was, was in England in August. Love the sheep! How wonderful to go to Lindisfarne!

What a shame I'm not still living in the Borders! You could have popped in for tea :-) Looks like you're having a lovely time.
